Sorry but if "Switch to Linux" is a valid suggestion, then you most likely aren't talking to someone the Neo is marketed to. As good as Linux is, non technical people still should not switch to it. It needs to be MacOS or Windows.

Why? Like many people I don't do serious work on my laptop. It is used for Web browsing, email, and to SSH into other machines. A simple, affordable, but well built machine like the Neo would be ideal for this, on the condition that I can run Linux on it. I currently use an aging XPS in that capacity and the Neo would be quite compelling as a substitute.

If web browsing, email, and SSH is all you do, then macOS is almost identical to Linux, while being so much easier to use.

Firefox, Gmail, and ssh have essentially the same user experience on Linux as on macOS.

[railgunmerlin]

your average neo buyer doesn't know what ssh is and would probably like media apps ranging from capcut to lightroom.

Not sure that’s true in general, but the comparison here is between Linux and macOS. And I believe that for the set of users contemplating Linux, GP is largely correct.
