> the entire slump in the laptop segment is driven by the fact that Windows is just utterly user-hostile garbage Partially true, but I wouldn't rule out the marketing driven belief that cellphones are just like smaller laptops, which is utter BS. Regarding Linux, I've installed Manjaro on some laptops and desktops for non techies, even seniors, and all of them (but one due to incompatibility with a proprietary Windows app) kept using it without any issues. I'm more a Debian user, also liking Alpine a lot on small systems and servers, but found Manjaro to be quite good for laptops and desktops that need to just work without fiddling too much with the command line.
