Yes, presumably that’s why they put a physical keyboard on the one I’m describing, along with all those other magnetic detachable keyboards they tend to ship these days.
Look, if you’re going to furiously argue with people on the Internet, it helps to read what they write to at least keep your responses vaguely consistent. It’s not a problem of grammar, this is barely a conversation now.
Well, yes, I have. That’s why reading what I say is important.
Most computing happens on a browser. Browsers, as it turns out, run on Windows and iOS and Android and Mac OS and everything else.
So if you do 80% of your computing on a browser and 20% natively, then you still have no reason to be on a OS that doesn’t do what you need for the other 20%. The right answer for light usage is whatever came preinstalled in your device (likely Windows, Android or iPadOS, if Chrome browsing is all you do).
So if nothing else is relevant that still doesn’t make Linux THE go-to or suitable for mainstream usage. It’s not preloaded in most devices, it is hard to get working well on the types of custom setups most mass market laptops ship with, it’s less convenient or outright incompatible on the mobile hardware casual users prefer and it’s extra work to set up in any case, which you’re not going to do if you’re a normie, because, again, all computers have browsers.
It’s a bizarre argument to begin with, and it’s definitely not the only thing that’s “relevant”.
Also, this is getting in the weeds, but I’ll point out that all my mobile devices will spit out HDR media out of a browser with little drama. Even Windows got there eventually. Seriously, how is it still so finicky in Linux? It’s been standardized and mainstream since 2016, at least.
There aren’t many people who need native. That’s what you’re refusing to acknowledge. You’re a weird one. Live up to the tag name months ago for sure. “Jerk angry at Linux”
Look, if you’d rather have this argument by yourself I’m sure it’d be better for everybody, you just… don’t have to post it here. Just open a text file somewhere and go nuts.
Most people do use native apps, even if they spend most time in a browser. The point is, again, that all browser apps work everywhere, so you’re going to make your choice based on the native apps you use.
Also on how easy it is to get things running in the first place, which for most people is going to mean just running with whatever comes preinstalled in your device. This is a non-argument at best, a good reason why most normie users don’t even consider migrating to Linux at worst.
Lol you spent like a hour minimum now in just this thread (not to mention the several times I saw you do the same before) angrily fighting against the idea that most people could be on Linux. It’s just a dumb lie and it tells us you have a weird agenda.

You still haven’t addressed the only point that matters. Most computing happens in a browser full stop, nothing else is relevant.
Well, yes, I have. That’s why reading what I say is important.

Lol says the person raging in response to a factual article
Yeah, I get that trolling would be much easier if I was getting angry, but… nah, it’s just kinda boring. You do you, though.
Lol you spent like a hour minimum now in just this thread (not to mention the several times I saw you do the same before) angrily fighting against the idea that most people could be on Linux. It’s just a dumb lie and it tells us you have a weird agenda.
So what’s your excuse, then?
I’m not angry, though. I’m barely disappointed.
Except for the HDR support thing. Come on, guys. Eight years and counting.
