Primo, this:

Other primo: ecology is important, but so is balance. Balance of the mind, balance of the wallet, balance in the push towards optimization. Hyperoptimisation leads to issues comparable to underperformance. Going too far any direction could be detrimental. We are what we are. We are not even a planetary civilization yet, but struggle in that direction. Real global concerns could be dealt with no sooner than we become a global civilization. Otherwise, it is part time solution, which means, the best we can do, is to keep our backyard tidy.
Back on the more mainline subject:
When it comes to buying a new PC, I assume nobody from among the casual consumers, buys anything to dry run a bare bones operating system. Everybody buys a PC with a goal in mind, which is, to run a particular piece of software. Therefore, the PC must be matched to handle given piece of software, which in my opinion is the way to go. Which is why, if someone expects to be a gamer and then buys a consumer grade machine, there could be a dissonance. Likewise, if someone expects a friendly world of ready solutions and chooses Linux or BSD, there could be a dissonance. Consumer grade laptops aim at the usage of Internet browser with statistically most popular services in mind, from what I understand. Basically, any preinstalled software on given machine should be available to execute in high-quality with acceptable outcome. Which is why, for example, AMD was adding a free DOOM [2016] copy once as a bonus, if someone bought their newest - by then - R9 graphical accelerator. It is intuitive the rest of the machine should also play along the chosen standard.
Compared to the PC gaming world, the gaming consoles make for a lot less of electro-trash effectively, with the upgrade pressure being lower and one generation of gaming consoles lasting a good handful of years. Besides, in case of gaming consoles, it is guaranteed every piece of software presented as available, should indeed be available to simply have a go, while in the PC gaming world, it is highly not as simple as that, with some compatibility issues included, but even if to assume everything to be stable, the continuum of requirements is a great motor for the upgrade pressure. Understandably, this corresponds with either the presence or lack of user frustration. While it is true that in the end of lifetime phase for given generation of gaming consoles, the new games look far inferior compared to their PC versions potential, eventually things even out - with patience - as thanks to the retro-compatibility, new gaming consoles can play older games in better standard.
But I praise what I know not, speaking of the gaming consoles, so it is theory. But I know PC gaming no luck.
For choosing Linux as a default operating system, I think Linux is a great movement, but Linux as a system, has a problem. Namely, it is pathologically being itself.
