Sigh, I know andriod is based on Linux, yet work differently and one has been mass adopted by the average user and can use it pretty well (Andriod).

Andriod, Windows, and MacOS/iOS I guess because we’re covering all angles are all mass adopted software that is relatively locked down, idiot proofed, and does alot of background cleanup /maintenance. I guess the point I failed to get across is if people want a mass adaptation of Linux, people have to learn to troubleshoot/Linux needs an idiot proofed distro that is easy to use for beginners, does alot of maintenance automatically, and feels natural to use, and offers quick and painless solutions, that the average user is capable of doing. Also the more it’s tied into Microsoft/Google the harder it will be to move away and find alternatives with the same ease of use. Like even the first part of Linux can be overwhelming for beginners. What distro do you pick? It’s not as simple as install Linux and your PC just works.
