I'm not going to get into a flame war over marketshare, because I couldn't care less -- from my perspective, there has never been a better time to use Linux on the desktop, and its never been in better shape than it is today. That doesn't mean everything is perfect, or even good. I'll complain about HDPI scaling, touchscreen support, and security all day. There's some real stuff to improve. But, I also take that criticism with a bit of perspective, and the truth is that Desktop Linux overall is really good, and it makes me more productive, and it makes my life better, and the overall direction that the desktop is moving is positive. There are things that Linux does better than any other modern OS, and I find that using it as a daily drive is un-complicatedly, un-idoiologically, purely-practically nice. It wasn't nice in the past. When I was growing up, using Linux required pretty substantial sacrifices. I don't have the same reservations recommending something Ubuntu or Manjaro now that I used to have. Even on the nontechnical side, if I'm going to provide computer support for someone, I usually stick them on Linux, because I have more control to simplify their environment and it's easier for me to quickly solve their problems. It's really good, I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into getting it here, and I'm optimistic about its future.
