I'm all for linux, but it truly isn't in a state where it can be widely adopted by the average users(I'm talking about laptop users here). it'll take years for achieving even the current level of usability that Windows provides out of the box. popular DEs like KDE still ship with god awful garbage touchpad drivers for machines with bigger than average touchpads. and their gesture implementation is nothing short of atrocious. and this is all before even getting into other problems such as fractional scaling in Wayland and how Firefox no longer comes with hardware acceleration enabled by default
But don't you think that most of these issues stem from the fact that few manufacturers support linux? If they adoptes linux just as windows, they could very well make open source drivers and tweak popular distros to be 100% compatible with hardware, just like manufacturers tweak android all the time.
