>It's 2026 and friction parity now approaches All things considered, what does that mean? Well, I came up with this term a little while ago after talking about this very concept for years. Friction parity is the idea that no OS is perfect, just familiar. Mac fans, born-and-raised Windows Native, a Microsoft Refugee, or if you're baptized in the cult of GNU-slash-Linux... it doesn't matter! Each system has their own, unique friction. Now, friction is the arbitrary barriers that your OS erects — whether intentional or not — between you and the tasks you're trying to complete.

Which is why the Year of the Linux Desktop won't happen. People will still use Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS. Linux should be for servers mostly.
