Every year can be the year of the Linux Desktop if we believe hard enough! Jokes aside, it's in a really good place. With everything being web based now, Flatpak being a defacto "can run anywhere" target for proprietary apps, community based wrappers for most of said apps which don't have official builds, Distro's like *buntu[0] and Fedora which are easy to install/use, Valve pushing Proton, and Windows pushing away enthusiasts, it could actually happen. Even better would be a company selling chromebook-grade hardware with one of the above mentioned distro's preinstalled in physical stores. I wish System76 would be able to do that, but I think it's a way's out from being feasible still. [0] Ironically, I don't actually include "Ubuntu" proper in this. Snap is a dealbreaker for me. Mint and Pop are my favorite *buntu's, followed by Ubuntu Server with Snap removed and a DE installed.
