Android is Linux.
The idea that a Linux distro could never go mainstream is not true. It just has to be marketed correctly.

How does Linux work. So far over the last year, flawlessly.

It takes about 2 weeks to make the transition. Nothing windows does can’t be done on Linux.

Linus started with the Minix created by Doug Comer. Over time and interacting with the UNIX academic community, the starter Minix grew more like UNIX with the most leading edge features from the frontline UNIX academicians. The gcc compiler from Richard Stallman made a HUGE difference in converting all the K&R C source code to fully prototyped ANSI style C. Lots of old demons were flushed out of the code. The valgrind tool took a prominent position as a "purify" work-alike for open source. It has been fun watching the code base mature and improve. It's a much better product than the proprietary builds on UNIX on proprietary architectures. The only real "win" with the proprietary builds was avoiding the need to cater to broad hardware offerings in a single release. The counter to that is the code that can operate reliably in a heterogeneous hardware world is likely cleaner code.

Linux is useful to some, but not everyone
Windows is is useful to most, but not everyone
MacOS is useful to communist liberal hippy types that prefer to live in la la land, but I digress.
Well it’s useful too I guess to some, but not everyone.
I’ve used Linux since Windows 95 was released, I didn’t want to go that route. Currently System76 Laptop Pangolin running Pop!_OS. But I started on SLS with 5.25” Floppies downloaded from Waffle BBS using Zmodem protocol with Procomm Plus because that was the “in thing” at that time. Glad that’s all over. My Google Pixel 6 has more horsepower than all of that at the time. I feel old now. I need a drink and a cigar.

Is anyone willing to recomend a Linux laptop and/or desktop computer?
I’m tired of microsoft fouling up my laptop every time they force me to “up grade”.

I’ve used Linux for about 27 years and several *BSD systems for much of that time.
