Reminds me about schools of thought on rates of change:

I did the switch in 2013 and haven't missed it. For games I ran vga_passthrough and later VFIO and others until pretty recently (I think right after covid I switched to steam directly on linux)
To me, the year's in the past. I haven't touched Windows since 2017, and nothing bad happened to me.
But you're right, I guess for some people, there will already be a good reason not to use Linux.
What do you call a fallacy where it is implied that the future will be like the past?
Reminds me about schools of thought on rates of change:
linear % change implies exponential change in absolute terms
Problem of induction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction
Maybe similar to boy who cried wolf?
"The future aint what it used to be."

The year of the Linux Desktop will be powered by fusion.
