How would the mainstream view it?

How would software support improve?

How would gaming look like?

Which country will become the first Linux majority? India? Seychelles?

How many local governments would start adopting it?

What year do you think it will happen in?

    How would software support improve?

    • Less fragmentation between multiple different ways to install software (Ubuntu-derived distributions currently have apt, flatpack and snap while some software is available in neither so I have to manually download a binary or even compile it myself)
    • Better support for certain use cases like… I don’t know… fractional scaling which Windows has supported since Vista
    • Simplified system settings. People make fun of Windows splitting settings between the “new” settings app and the old control center. On most Linux distributions, I may have to set some things multiple times for my window manager, my compositor and so on… again, scaling is the main culprit here but themeing has similar problems.

    Basically fix the few things that work better in Windows, even for power users, ideally without sacrificing the flexibility that makes Linux so awesome.
