Actually, Linux not coming pre-installed is a good thing.
As soon as Linux becomes mainstream, it WILL be turned to shit, and all of us Linux veterans will be forced out of it (and we'll probably all be migrating to BSD, Hurd, Plan 9, ReactOS, FreeDOS, BeOS, and all the other ones), and Linux would be turned into yet another bloated proprietary botnet OS that keeps spying on you.
This is why I actually prefer the year of the Linux desktop will never come, it needs to remain for the tech litterate only

@ryo I'm pretty sure Linux going proprietary will have a lot of backlash. They will just fork the last FOSS version of the kernel. And there will be more efforts to create third-party drivers.
@xianc78 Only if making drivers for current year hardware would have been as easy as it used to be though...
So much cryptographically locking down, so much desperation to lock people into either WinDOS or macOS, it's just not fun buying the latest hardware.
But on the bright side, older hardware tend to be superior when it comes to productivity (more ports, repairability etc), whereas the current year note PCs are becoming more and more like consoomer toys (so basically a tablet with no detachable keyboard and no touch screen).

In that case the kernel will have to be forked and created separately from the mainstream big corpo one before they trash the soyce code of it.
And then again, the main problem is the locked down hardware drivers (especially Intel and AMD CPU's), they know full well that if Linux becomes proprietary, they will no longer have to open source their drivers ever again, and the free Linux kernel will be the one suffering the consequences.
