If a computer is pre-installed and working, 90% of the problems are solved already.

That's a fantasy solution to a real world problem. Computers will never come with Linux preinstalled in large numbers. Even if they did, they'd come with a shitty distribution filled with adware that you'd want to reinstall anyway.

Installation of Linux on an already existing Windows system is an important problem that needs solving, and it feels like we barely made any progress there in 20 years (anybody remember umsdos?).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
