Maybe in 20 years we'll be hacking on this on our desktops while every other user OS is still an heroing for the "grandma's tablet" market.

I don't know, I'm trying to be a bit realistic about it when it comes to another new OS that can run on real hardware and is reliable enough as a daily driver. Might take more than two decades for it to be as usable as macOS.

By then we would be just still running Windows / macOS on our ARM desktops / laptops, Fuchsia on our phones, tablets and chromebooks, Linux still stuck on the server and everything else stuck in a VM or simply abandoned.

In 20 years desktop users will look back at Windows 11 as "the good old days"
Nah, most devs with be using their tablet playgrounds, as thin clients to Cloud OSes.
