If I’m being 100% real, it will not happen without some kind of MAJOR societal shift relating to how technology and law enforcement is managed. If Linux ever becomes the default option, you’ll have bigger things on your mind.
Maybe, if the EU keeps it’s current will to change from American (or other non-EU) vendors to local, then Linux is the preferred choice. It’s already happening for public offices a lot of places. Hopefully this will spread the word and more people will adapt it for private computers. However, I want to see it happen before I believe it.
tbh I’ve always assumed it would take a majority of offices and other workplaces adopting it. Having no choice but to use it and then suddenly… “hey… why does this not suck?”
Plus bigger workplaces have more leverage with software companies which would increase the compatibility pool
Also the fact that I can pretty much run any exe through steam painlessly helped me with the switch. More people being aware of that could help

Aw, c’mon: 2014 is “The Year of the Linux desktop.”
Oh, wait…
I remember a magazine from before I moved from my parents house, with years of the Linux desktop - this would precisely be start 2000s.
