>finally bring about the Year of The Linux Desktop™.

Do we actually want that?

If Linux ever reached mass adoption, big tech companies would inevitably find a way to ruin it

Governments around the world are finding ways of doing that well before big tech will get to it.

This big push for Age/ID verification & "trusted" operating systems is going to ruin what's left of free (as in freedom), general purpose computing. Governments are getting frothy at the mouth for every device to have remote attestation like google play protect/whatever iOS does.
