Linux seems to be gaining a lot of traction, both with the fall of windows and gaming being more than feasible.

It makes sense for the tech savvy option to succeed, now that personal computing is disappearing. Average folks won’t use a windows/macbook, they’ll use phones and tablets.

My only concern is ending in a macOS+asahi situation where supporting a single device requires mountains of effort.

So just don't use windows? The only reason I use android to begin with is because the mobile centric distros I looked into didn't appear to be to the point I would want to daily drive them yet. If and when that changes I'll switch.

The only real issue is sourcing good mobile hardware that isn't locked down. At least for the time being the pixel line satisfies that.
