The year of Linux desktops already happened in 2020 when people had Chromebooks foisted upon them in light of the pandemic. Most of those Chromebooks are now in landfill too, I’m sure.
Why would that be? A browser is almost all many people use a laptop for. I had to retire mine from about ten years ago but that's because it was out of support and the only reason I won't replace it probably is because I have an old spare MacBook and no one makes a particularly good Chromebook optimized for traveling.
I've never been able to make a tablet and keyboard work for me for productivity, especially balancing them on my lap.
