Maybe this is what linux desktop needed to finally break through. But not yet, only after everyone realizes how much freedom they gave up in a couple more years
I used linux on the desktop full-time until 20 years ago, and even back-then it was already going to be "year of the linux desktop". It's simply never going to get there, and I'm fine with that.
The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. Year of the Linux Desktop arrived for me, in earnest, sometime in the mid-nineties. Maybe 2022 will be the year of the Linux desktop for a few more people.
That won't happen until desktop Linux is usable by non-tech people, and they have easy access to it (pre-installed, simple install, etc.). There's been a lot of progress, however there are still plenty of issues. Not to mention application support.
