Nope. It's not gonna happen. My wife works for a non-profit where many of its members are in their 50s, 60, 70s and even 80s. They can barely run Windows - and they've been working with Windows for decades. To be fair, there are a few who are quite savvy, however most are not. Meanwhile we have CS professors lamenting that the incoming CS students don't know basic computer concepts - like what is a file system? They've been raised on tablets. My takeaway is those under 20 aren't going to be running Linux, either. That leaves those aged 20-50 remaining. Well, you can pretty much write off those aged 30-50. They're dealing with the classic squeeze - taking care of children on the one hand and taking care of aging parents on the other. They simply don't have time to mess around with something like Linux. They're going to keep using whatever they've been using because it works and they're looking to keep things simple as they struggle with all their family responsibilities. That leaves those in their 20s. The good news is they have financial limitations so Linux is attractive from that point. The bad news is they're the most susceptible to marketing and branding and Linux just isn't cool (unless you're an über geek). In other words, the majority of everybody who's ever going to be running Linux on their desktop are already running Linux on their desktop.
