    It really is getting to the point that I want a major laptop/PC manufacturer to ship with a polished, user friendly Linux distro, and get the ball rolling.

    Chromebooks are sort of like that. They are very user friendly and allow you to access Linux shells. The only problem is that you can’t get root access without developer mode.

      I forgot about Chromebooks—granted, I don’t really think of those as what I mean. I don’t generally think that “user friendly = restricted and less control”, though I’m sure others would disagree. I don’t think of Chromebooks as real mainstream Linux.

      Oh, and the steam deck has done this I believe, though I don’t own one so I don’t know how restricted that is either.
