That's pretty a good description for the general audience. From what I remember, previously, most general vendors would hide their Linux laptop offerings and you'd find them by a special link only or had to search for them. Now going to https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/faqs/operating-systems the section is about equally divided between Linux and Windows questions. "How to install Kali Linux", "How to Install Linux on a Chromebook" etc.

> Who uses Linux and why?

> Since its inception, businesses have used Linux extensively on their servers. Linux is also used in some corporate environments as the desktop platform for their employees ...

> Linux desktop users are typically those who value an open source operating system and appreciate the speed, security and user experience of this open-source software. Linux may not be the most polished OS, but it’s on the cutting edge of innovation. If there’s a security hole, developers usually release an update within the day. Instead of waiting months for update packages, Linux users receive regular updates as new technology becomes available. To top it all off, Linux is free and supports a culture of collaboration in the software world.

Really feel like they buried the lede here. Imagine paying full price for a Windows OS to use on a Raspberry PI or even those cheap Android tablets.

> Valve also announced that its upcoming gaming console, Steam Machine, will by default run SteamOS, an operating system based on the Linux kernel.
