Lol. This is complete nonsense. Numbers that don't hold up, assertions which don't pass the smell test.

Linux excels in invironments where people don't ever lnow they're using Linux. Servers, embedded and highly customized environments. For average users Linux is still too much of a disjointed mess with poor hardware support.

I use multiple Linux distros daily and none of them would pass for a primetime ready desktop environment in any of my personal or professional environments. As much as I hate windows and Macos Linux just isn't up to the job of replacing them on the desktop. Luckily for them that is becoming less and and less relevant outside of the business environment.

In the end Linux is still little more than a random collection of software loosely connected through an administrator centric framework.
