    I do wonder about that, Gen Z and Alpha are less tech savvy than millennials, so there’s non zero odds that it doesn’t work out because Linux isn’t easily accessible in the tablet/phone space yet.

    And no android doesn’t count

      They are also less wealthy than X and millennial were at first computer purchase age. GNU/Linux is cheap

        The OS is but the hardware ya gotta install it on could be another story, especially with gaming distros becoming more and more common

          Sure for gaming you want a pretty expensive machine, but for a user who wants web and email a used low end laptop will perform great

      Mobile Linux is a thing, though I think it would take governments mandating unlocked/user-unlockable bootloaders to gain literally Any market share. It would also probably take a compatibility layer for running Android apps similar to Wine in desktop Linux, but Android already runs a Linux kernel, so projects like Waydroid are most of the way there already by just running Android inside a container.
