> the year of the linux desktop

At least on the gaming side, this is happening verrrrry slowly. It's almost entirely driven by the Steam Deck, which has around a 30% market share for linux users running steam. Since last year linux usage is up a solid percentile, and windows is down a similar amount. OSX and Linux both are making slow but steady progress against Windows' market share.

I don't think there will ever be a year of the linux desktop, but there might be a decade of slow transition towards it.
