Were these mostly land based vs. carrier based planes?

I believe most all the Marine F4U’s in WWII were land based but carrier capable but not absolutely sure.

I believe they were originally intended to be carrier based but were almost impossible to land on the carriers so the Marines used them as land based squadrons
