>small percent of personal computers.

I certainly consider my phone to be a personal computer nowadays.

It has a few orders or magnitude more powerful hardware and can do things my first few PCs could not do.

Linux is certainly doing very well there. ;) GNU/Linux might not be, but that's a different story.

A phone OS marketed by Google that happens to be derived from Linux code is to "GNU/Linux is going to kill Microsoft and big corporations flexing their power in the software industry" what a hypothetical cardless payment technology run by Paypal that uses a blockchain somewhere on the backend is to "Bitcoin is going to kill fiat currency and the banking oligarchy"
