Windows 95 launched like a rock concert and since computers came with Windows, everyone’s experience was the same so you did have KDE installed then go look for help and have people say “no no no. Install Gnome” like you get with Linux. You want linux to be mainstream, you need to appeal to the average dumb person which means ditch all but 1 interface.
The steamdeck a handheld gaming PC comes with Linux, and several handheld gaming PC’s are beginning to follow suit, some PC manufacturers already offer Linux as an option. Even so, most gamers, which is who I was talking about, build their own PC’s and pick their own OS’s to begin with.

The Steam Deck is an exception as it has a highly specialized OS with functionality and optimization limited to one thing: playing games.
Only there’s a desktop mode that is easily accessible and opens up the device for all manner of uses.
Many many features and functions missing. It’s made for games.
It may be made for games but it’s a more tolerable desktop experience than a fully fledged Windows PC.
Which features/functions are “missing”?
Says you who do not represent everyone.
And you are an elected official?
