Linux is on the desktop. It's just the definition of "desktop" has changed... The devices people use day-to-day are predominantly either iOS or Android, just like how the devices people used day-to-day in the 90's were Windows.

Yes! According to this new definition, about one out of every three devices run Linux at the moment.[0]

I hate this "Linux of the desktop" analogy because people really fail to realize that it has already happened and that they have missed it. I blogged about this a couple of months back: https://blog.r3bl.me/en/year-of-linux/
