Great, my grammar is somehow imperfect so you win. /s
Popularity is far from an indicator of preference. Tablets and phones are cheap and thus popular. Unfortunately I use both often for testing work stuff. It’s never fun. Typing on a touch screen is trash.
Yes, presumably that’s why they put a physical keyboard on the one I’m describing, along with all those other magnetic detachable keyboards they tend to ship these days.
Look, if you’re going to furiously argue with people on the Internet, it helps to read what they write to at least keep your responses vaguely consistent. It’s not a problem of grammar, this is barely a conversation now.
You still haven’t addressed the only point that matters. Most computing happens in a browser full stop, nothing else is relevant.
Well, yes, I have. That’s why reading what I say is important.
Most computing happens on a browser. Browsers, as it turns out, run on Windows and iOS and Android and Mac OS and everything else.
So if you do 80% of your computing on a browser and 20% natively, then you still have no reason to be on a OS that doesn’t do what you need for the other 20%. The right answer for light usage is whatever came preinstalled in your device (likely Windows, Android or iPadOS, if Chrome browsing is all you do).
So if nothing else is relevant that still doesn’t make Linux THE go-to or suitable for mainstream usage. It’s not preloaded in most devices, it is hard to get working well on the types of custom setups most mass market laptops ship with, it’s less convenient or outright incompatible on the mobile hardware casual users prefer and it’s extra work to set up in any case, which you’re not going to do if you’re a normie, because, again, all computers have browsers.
It’s a bizarre argument to begin with, and it’s definitely not the only thing that’s “relevant”.
Also, this is getting in the weeds, but I’ll point out that all my mobile devices will spit out HDR media out of a browser with little drama. Even Windows got there eventually. Seriously, how is it still so finicky in Linux? It’s been standardized and mainstream since 2016, at least.
