That's still quite a ways away from 500M+ downloads a month, more like ~4M downloads a month. Still a huge number of downloads, don't get me wrong!

And properly supporting it as well. Look at all the major brands supporting Linux on their computers, several even go so far as maintaining their own distros.

Well, you asked what's wrong with it, and being entirely unusable on a lot of the target hardware its trying to address sure seems like a problem. I didn't realize I needed to give them money to properly speak true statements. I d

Well, it doesn't work at all with the Macbook on my shelf from 2024. Doesn't install, doesn't boot. I'd say that's pretty important for an OS.

I love it when I read some AWS docs to get a feel for what to do, start to build things, find something that seems like it should just work, then do a lot of digging to figure out what I'm doing wrong, only to find a slightly different

And then people go to Best Buy and see there's a model on the shelf that looks to be the exact same but its $60 cheaper, so they buy that and then realize they have no idea what to do with it so I guess this brand of laptop just sucks,

Its like two taps on my phone to scan a QR code where as typing that is probably going to take me 26+ taps. And I usually prefer to just scan a QR code to get the wifi details. Once again, its far fewer taps. If you could do something with

An $80k purchase is far more affordable when you're looking at an 84 month loan. You trade in your current $20k truck with $30k in debt on it for your $80,000 car, get a couple grand in incentives and a $10k down payment, and boom you&
