I am working on windows 10 currently. I was wondering if MX Linux could be installed directly from online. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    The issue here is if you can’t be unassed to learn how to install Linux what are you going to do when you have problems. There’s a web installer for GrapheneOS it could probably be used as an entry point for someone to create the same for a.distro.

      You want people to use it? Make it easy. Not everyone wants to know how all their tools work and fix them on their own. Even you don’t.

      No, the point is that we should ensure that people can use Linux without needing deep technical support.

            I think it could work if it was a paid or had a service contract that insures support from creator so the person can have someone to help diagnose and correct things for a few months after install. Like I said in my initial comment GrapheneOS made it work but they only support a few generations of Pixel hardware desktop Linux supports most hardware going back 30 odd years it would be a nightmare.

              Yep similar to steam os / steam deck. It’s really good user experience, ticks all the boxes of what a lot of linux evangelists claim the windows will all want to switch to . It’s even surprisingly usable in desktop mode (with mouse and keyboard).

              That’s what you can do with linux on defined hardware and with a dedicated team paid by a fairly large corpo making cash out of the users.

              But the linux user base is way more diverse than that - not everyone is going to want graphene , or steamOS type thing. especially not just to pander to windozers.
