It's never going to be the "year of the linux desktop" because M$ owns the fucking OEM market. They are about to put their faggot AI button on all the keyboards.

Linus had 30 years to do something about that but he didn't. There are markets outside the US that he could have leveraged but he just didn't try. He only concerns himself with the kernel and not the larger environment around it. He's the nigger of the OS world who never independently developed developed his own full ecosystem and just appropriated the works of others like M$, jewgle and Crapple.
Funny you mentioned jewgle. Those fucks could be pushing Linux hard and buying OEM's to get it on a desktop but refuse to do so. Why? There is either an agreement with M$ or other funny business is going on. It is worthy to note Google stopped 32 bit development in 2016 and M$ rebuilt Edge as a chromium browser in 2018. Around 16 months later. Why? Google was still porting 32bit Chrome for XP.

I don't remember the year and not going to go down that rabbit hole looking for it, but at some point we stopped doing 16-bit development too and moved to 32-bit exclusively. It's not necessarily a sinister thing. It happened to avoid thunking layers and other mixed architecture nightmares that programmers hate dealing with. You may see it as conspiracy. I see it as programmers making their work more efficient and less complicated. It was inevitable to do so when 64-bit architecture became the mainstream. If its any consolation, I don't think we'll see this happen again since there is no real need to move CPU architecture to 128-bit any time in the foreseeable future. We'll sooner see new architectures that are vastly different than to see x128 happen in out lifetimes.
