The problem is that I can't still buy a laptop at Media Markt, or similar consumer store, with a Linux distro pre-installed, and if I could, it would be OEM Linux, just like they do with Android, WebOS, Netbooks, whatever.

Outside Internet places like HN, most consumers aren't going to Tuxedo, System 76, or building their own Linux PC.

Thus commercial OS platforms keep winning, and the owners are anyway the ones that sponsor most FOSS projects.

Miss Windows 7 by the way, it was when I gave up on The Linux Desktop.
