Yea, lets start with tiny userbase of vocal nerds who cant even agree on how to do gui / package management

instead of the OS with majority of market share and giant userbase

90s are over, it is time to move on and stop EEEing everywhere

That’s not correct and the Steamdeck proofs it :)

The manufacturers are always the key. What ships pre-installed and/or runs well after setup matters. Thats why ThinkPads run so well with Linux. ThinkPads are certified for Linux or even ship readily with Fedora or Ubuntu.

That I’m using Arch and using mostly the TTY isn’t an issue. It doesn’t matter that the next user prefers GNOME and Fedora. Because we’ve settled for compatibility and not incompatibility through Windows or MacOS. The rest is just our personal choice. How cares if we run SysVInit or Systemd? Only the user.

PS: Applies also to Dells Developer Edition Laptops.
