Most of the big name hardware vendors are starting to get more serious about supporting Linux on their professional product lines. The bigger problem is that no attention is given to Linux on consumer gear and the components within are refreshed on such a frequent basis that keeping up is tough even when you try.

Google does mostly use Linux on desktops.

Isn't that exactly what this is about? Seems like Google uses Linux on everything according to the video.
