As Torvalds pointed out in 2019, is that while some major hardware vendors do sell Linux PCs – Dell, for example, with Ubuntu – none of them make it easy. There are also great specialist Linux PC vendors, such as System76, Germany’s TUXEDO Computers, and the UK-based Star Labs, but they tend to market to people who are already into Linux, not disgruntled Windows users. No, one big reason why Linux hasn’t taken off is that there are no major PC OEMs strongly backing it. To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”
Linux needs nothing to succeed. It just needs to wait and be there while the big corporations continue to fuck up their systems all on their own.
The recent surge in Linux use from the Windows 10 deprecation and Windows 11 being annoying proves that.
More and more Vendors like Valve will pop up with a growing user base.
Linux needs an apple-like manufacturer (but in a good sense): good, marketable products with good support.
If we’re always relying for big current OEMs to offer linux option, they’re gonna hide it and never offer 1:1 support compared to windows.
I’m for some reason hoping for valve+some oem working together to offer a valid option to the current choices.
