There is no widespread migration of desktop users from Windows to Linux and I doubt there ever will be. Can we finally bury this delusional idea? It’s far more likely that the desktop PC dies almost completely as a device category used by anyone but professionals and a tiny minority of enthusiasts than for this to happen.
I agree with you that the linux crowd is delusional about this matter, but fwiw I have seen an increase in non-tech people switching to Zorin or Mint in my circles in the past 2 years. I doubt there’s gonna be a widespread migration in the near future, but with Linux finally getting more gui-friendly and less terminal-dependant, I think there’s gonna be a fair increase eventually.

Seems just as likely, considering how ephemeral supporting facts become when extrapolated further and further into the future. 🤓
