After seeing a salesman voluntarily using it and getting away with it at work, multiple influential devs using it both in my organization and at customera, meetings be held with Teams on Linux desktop at the client etc I have already declared year of Linux desktop on Oslo, Norway.
Feels exactly like when Mac broke through 15 or so years ago: all the cool kids used it and advocated it, management wanted it and several people in IT preferred it and use it whenever they can get away with it.
