/1. PC is short for personal computer, if it has a motherboard and can be used outside of a commercial setting then it’s a PC
/2. Whether you are using a closed source OS like Windows/Xbox/Mac/PlayStation/Switch on your device or an open source one like Linux it doesn’t change the device
So if your argument is that a console is a console because the user hasn’t installed Linux yet then why use the term PC instead of calling it a Linux device?
Don’t play dumb you know very well the difference between a console and a PC, which is that one let’s you do what you want and the other doesn’t. I’m not playing this stupid game ffs
Also this is so dumb a NES is a PC by your definition…
A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose microcomputer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use.[1] Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician.

So like yeah, I’m glad I could teach you the word
But why do you only consider it a PC when Linux is installed? What about dual booting? Is my Switch only a pc when I’m booted into Linux?
Nowadays they are but that wasn’t always the case.
