We've been talking about The Year of the Linux Desktop for over 30 years. Now it's clearer then ever that such a year is never going to happen. Meanwhile, Linux has become the server OS of choice - and that's not likely to change for a long, long time. Linux has even become the OS of choice for embedded environments as well, so long as your runtime environment isn't too terribly constrained, you don't need hard real time, and human lives won't be lost if something were to go wrong. That's a lot of places where Linux is running. It's just not going to run on many desktops. I take that as a win.

What? Windows' market share has been falling for years with no end in sight

Falling to phones and tablets, not Linux desktops. Fewer and fewer people even want a desktop. Normies don't give a crap about Linux and haven't given a crap for over 30 years.
