Good thing the end of Windows support isn't the end of the story for PC at least.
Is it year of the Linux desktop yet?
It's always been the year of the Linux desktop. tvwm made for a fine desktop.
When was the last time you used a desktop?
For most people, their smartphone is their computer, and (globally) Android is the top used one. Android is a version of Linux, so every year for quite a while has been the Year of the Linux "desktop".
I use a desktop all day, every day (Arch, btw) because I work a tech job.
Android is based on Linux, true but it is hardly a desktop environment (and is mostly controlled by the carrier/Google from a privacy/enshittification perspective).
I think the Steamdeck is a better example. It's converting console gamers into Linux desktop users and showing people that Linux gaming is very much possible.
