Thank you for sharing the link and correcting my information bias. It sounds like the "workstation," compute world is a forest of deep niches.

You make a lot of good points about the staying power of Windows. I am excited about all the moves towards a complete Linux desktop, but am not imagining that it will be mainstream.

I’m not sure if it’s a forest of deep niches, at this point I would say that the niche is the 7 figure server racks with A100’s outisde of the cloud providers...

There are still more use cases for GPU compute on the edge than in the datacenter and that likely won’t change.

And for Linux on the enterprise desktop well then ROCm can’t run in WSL2, CUDA can so yet another reason to bloody support Windows...

Because WSL2 is ironically probably the way forward for Linux on the desktop for the majority of the computerized workforce.
