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.”

    Maybe you should just turn off the computer. It seems to annoy you.

    Displeasure? I have to manage windows and azure environments and believe me that is displeasure. At least I get to do it all from a reliable Linux environment.

    If you don’t like clipboards than ok, you can turn it off. For those of us the like them, it’s an option windows never had until recently.

    Yes shit. No decent file manager. No clip board. No internet protocols built in. No state awarenes and on and on. Win 11 is starting to get there but they are so busy going worse at the same time it’s pointless.

    Windows still doesn’t have an nvme driver for goodness sake.

    I have described them over and over, but you hate them or something and are annoyed so I guess having options is not for you.

    This is all started with a discussion about the Linux desktop being less than windows historically. Clearly that is not the case when one is feature rich and the other has been playing catch up for years.
