    It’s worth noting that the same applies when installing Windows.

    Most people never do that either because it’s already bloated with malware installed on the PC they buy.

    Same with macOS, you buy the hardware with preinstalled software.

      Absolutely. If Linux was pre installed that’s what people would use. Its the switching to Linux from something else that proves so complicated.

      Same reason most non technical people using Linux today do so on the Steam Deck. If you want to spread Linux, trying to convince individuals is going about it all wrong.

      You need to convince Canonical or Red Hat to spend more on partnerships with manufacturers. I’m not sure if anyone else has deep enough pockets.
