"Stardate 2020. There is a mainstream OS with great driver support and the best gaming performance, that everybody uses (Linux). There are two other OSs battling for survival: One run by open source fanatics that release open source editors, browsers and programming languages and which frantically tries to emulate the mainstream OS (WSL), and one where stuff constantly breaks on upgrades, fundamental hardware like keyboards doesn't work, and keeping enter pressed logs you in as root (OSX)."

Stardate 2030: Everyone is now doing Chrome apps, with three major companies sharing the cloud OS resources.

Some old people keep talking about the crazy idea of owning computers and installing OSes.

Linux has the best gaming performance?
Check out some of the recent Phoronix benchmarks.
Some games see a significant performance boost running through Wine.
Sure some get a performance boost, but I believe more get a performance hit than a boost (and that's not counting the ones that don't even run at all).
open source browsers?
They joined the Chromium project.
