The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    Well, we got Steam Deck on that front, so at least there’s something. Not a desktop, but a regular consumer device with Linux is still nice.

      Steam Deck is a step in the right direction, but the manufacturer does not highlight the fact that it runs Linux.
      Most people don’t realize that they are probably using Linux daily already. If they have a fire TV stick, or Android phone, or a smart speaker, etc.

        Android is not Linux, it only uses (modified) Linux kernel. Android experience is not transferable to any other Linux distro. While Steam Deck’s is. You’re not saying your smart bulb runs Linux just because it uses its kernel.
