Maybe it should be accepted that the dominant form of "desktop Linux" will be Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, especially WSL 2), now that WSL accommodates Linux GUI programs.

(I understand that many Linux users on HN do not want all the Windows functionality for reasons of privacy and security.)
