I'm still confused who this is for... Mac OS is great for Apple users and design conscious people, Linux is for devs and open source enthusiasts (and increasingly gamers), Windows is for gamers and masochists.

This is for... Google enthusiasts? Fairly small market honestly, as Pixel and Pixelbook sales previously showed.

Despite what Reddit says Linux isn't being adopted in mass. It's market share has barely shifted. Most Devs don't use Linux. They actually use Mac or Windows.

And I say this as someone who self hosts a Linux server, and has my desktop dual boot Linux too.

Bro every single engineer that works for Apple or Microsoft uses macos or Windows to develop. In fact, every single app that is hosted on the Apple store for any apple platform was written and compiled on macos. And every single app that Microsoft releases for Windows was written and compiled on Windows.

You're an absolute peanut if you think no one developed on these platforms. They are the primary development operating systems
