Well one thing is for sure that Linux itself, so not Android/ChromeOS etc., is gaining quite the traction on the desktop.

It took about 2 years to rise from 2 to 3% market share. The rise from 3% to almost 5% happened in about 0.7 months.

Also gaming on Linux is suddenly a hot thing, mainly because Valve's Proton and SteamOS.

In fact Linux gained so much traction that Microsoft's internal K2 improvement project is now taking Windows gaming performance under Linux as benchmark, no joke. MS feels the pressure right now quite harshly.

Linux gaming is suddenly also such a hot topic that even Nvidia is now dedicating man power to improve the performance of its drivers under Linux to be on par with AMD. (https://www.techradar.com/computing/gpu/nvidia-seemingly-wants-to-make-linux-better-for-gamers-and-one-way-or-another-that-must-worry-microsoft)

And in the meantime while Windows is playing catchup and Nvidia improving people under Linux have fun with Hyprland. Or whatever contraption else they might want to replace their desktop with.

Maybe when it's less of a religious organization full of pedantic nerds or when enshittification overpowers my aversion to a religious organization full of pedantic nerds.
Noooooo....It's a good thing in the age of our corporate overlords. Just ignore the sweaty folks.

Also, I would like to add that Google with their old motto of "Don't be evil" done went and got evil. I cannot think of one single good tech company run by psychopaths. They ALL have kissed that nasty ass rear end of the lunatic as well as not taking a single bit of responsiblity for the evil they, themselves have caused to society, while paying politicians across the country to support a police state so they never have to own up to their own evils.

Rant over, lol.
