Yea, absolutely. I think 1 or 2 could potentially be addressed by one of the companines who operates in this space now. SteamOS basically forces this by locking down the system (but provides the option to open it up I believe). System76 has their own distro. I can imagine RedHat or Oracle creating something similar for businesses if they really wanted to (which I doubt). Cross distro standardization and compat doesn't seem likely, though. 3. This depends a lot on the business, but these days a lot of this work moved online so I don't think it needs to be a big blocker necessarily. To be fair, I doubt Linux will ever become dominant like Windows, at least not in the current form. I think that space is more likely to be addressed by other alternatives - notably Mac or maybe ChromeOS/Android. Partially because a most users simply can't utilize Linux unique features because they don't have a use case for them. The year of Linux desktop my view happens when it becomes a no brainer to use Linux if you're a power user.
