I'm honestly not sad that it never happened.
It took over my desktop around ~1998 and I wonder if massive adoption of Linux on the desktop would have benefited me or been worse (from my perspective).
As it stands literally every single tool I want/need to do my job is already available for Linux and indeed many of those tools are simply better on Linux (docker on a mac is horrible, I have a work issued current gen macbook pro, I use it purely for testing docker set-ups and then it goes back in its case).
Its going to sound elitist but not dumbing down the platform for the average user is a benefit to me.
