I support your notion but my take is it will be a "slowly and then suddenly" thing.
Do you declare "Year of the Linux Desktop" when market share is more than 50% or when the rate of conversion is 2%/month due to some market mechanism?
I declare it will never go beyond WSL and Apple Virtualization Framework for normies, unless we have a second netbooks like wave with OEMs selling their pre-installed GNU/Linux distros on shops.
Yeah, I agree with your "unless" statement. Something has to change for the conversion rate to increase significantly.
"Gaming is good on linux now.(except for kernel anticheats)" isn't it. In the gaming sense, that only puts it close to with Windows and with the extra hassles otherwise Linux is still behind.
You have to recognise and value privacy to look to Linux.
