We have tablets and phones now all running unix variants

  >Year of the Linux _Desktop_ will arrive shortly I don't consider my phone nor my tablet to be a "desktop".

    In my circles, personal Windows PCs have gone almost entirely away. Chromebooks are massively popular, but most people do everything on a phone/tablet. In the PC market, gaming is the only thing keeping Windows relevant, and each Proton update shrinks that market segment.

      Sure, lots more people (maybe most? I don't know) use phones/tablets in place of a desktop. I still don't call my phone a desktop. As for what is keeping Windows relevant, I would bet gaming is just a blip on the radar. Corporations, especially larger ones not in the tech market, like to use Windows for user machines (also applies to governments).

        Too right. Almost all of the software I need for work runs only Windows.
