I bet Linux for the desktop will actually start when Microsoft ports Chromium-based Edge and Office apps to Linux for specialty users, primarily developers. I mean, if you want developer mindshare and apparently improving or replacing cmd.exe will never happen... it’s not like these proprietary apps aren’t possible to ship for Linux to run at least as well as they do on an Android phone...

In spite of piracy, a large set of population actually pays for them, versus bashing the authors for considering to charge money for their work while suggesting free alternatives. A full stack framework that in spite of OEM customization is relatively standard across all devices with an Android label on them.
