Let’s say just like for example like MacOS. It’s awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I’m asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

    Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.

    Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.

    Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.

      No major OEM will do a consumer Linux PC because MS will punish them with Windows licence pricing. You’d have to be a newcomer that’s not beholden to MS. At the same time, you’d need a removedload of cash to start a hardware business with enough volume to get into big box stores. That’s why it hasn’t happened yet
