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

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.

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
