  Sometimes. But I felt that I could talk for more than just myself.

    I think it could work if it was a paid or had a service contract that insures support from creator so the person can have someone to help diagnose and correct things for a few months after install. Like I said in my initial comment GrapheneOS made it work but they only support a few generations of Pixel hardware desktop Linux supports most hardware going back 30 odd years it would be a nightmare.

      Yep similar to steam os / steam deck.
      It's really good user experience, ticks all the boxes of what a lot of linux evangelists claim the windows will all want to switch to . It's even surprisingly usable in desktop mode (with mouse and keyboard).

      That's what you can do with linux on defined hardware and with a dedicated team paid by a fairly large corpo making cash out of the users.

      But the linux user base is way more diverse than that - not everyone is going to want graphene , or steamOS type thing. especially not just to pander to windozers.
