In middle school I had a USB drive with Linux Mint installed on it which I was using on school PCs. We only used those PCs for internet browsing and office. Not a single soul noticed it wasn’t Windows. Teacher only noticed 2 differences, “You have different version of Office installed here.” and also gave me a note for “Changing wallpaper” which was strictly prohibited for some reason.
Absolutely. In fact i think everyone is hoping steam os will be the distro to make the big push onto desktop because of the gaming and another just works kind of interface
Indeed, many Netbooks come with a firmware dual boot. Besides the crappy Windows lite edition, there’s a tiny instant-on Linux too. Most people don’t use that, but it’s there.

I bet if small, cheap netbooks came out running mint or fedora or something people wouldn’t even or know or care that it was Linux.

It was probably due to some goober like me changing it to Scarlett Johansson’s bikini pics. I’m sorry.
So… the Steamdeck?

…the steamdeck isn’t a netbook.
