    If only there were a distro as lazy as using an Android device.
    Every time I mention this, someone comes along and mentions one or another distro, and then the caveats that keep it from being as lazy as using an Android device.

      What exactly do you mean? Like a distro that just works well on a phone? Yeah proper Linux phones aren’t quite there yet.

      But any of the commonly recommended distros work out of the box on PC at this point, there’s less fiddling than with windows at this point in my experience

        I think they meant distros that are for desktop but as easy, convenient, simple, to use as android, ios or even maybe macos

      Android needs the same sort of hardware-specific configuration that other distros need. It’s just that the phone manufacturer takes care of that for you

        I wouldn’t be lazy if I cared about how the cake is made. Wait, bad analogy. I do like cooking.

        But I hope you know what I mean. Have someone else do it. Have the user just install and plug things and they work, absolutely nothing else to be done, no need for research, asking a friend, wizards, troubleshooting tools, or tutorials.

        Lazy.
