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."

I felt the same way when I switched to Nobara.

it was the fastest, easiest, most hands off install of linux I ever had. and that same kind of stuff carries over into its every day usability. I do precious little thinking of "I have Linux" or "I have Nobara" anymore, I just think "Imma go do X" and immediately do X without issue.

Linux has become absolutely amazing, especially for gaming, in the past couple years.. as I said in a previous post, yeah you've been able to game on linux for longer than that.. but the past 2 years have just been fuckin butter.
