WSL is amazing. I switched from Macs to thinkpads at my office and having the bells and whistles of windows MS office (lets admin macos office stinks) and vscode that opens and literally runs on Linux is amazing. No IT hassles about developers running Linux with support and VPNs and stuff. Just buy some more RAM and ship developers windows laptops has been great for the org and honestly the developers. We deploy and run on Linux and the weird quirks of macos has bit us in the past.

Apparently the Year of Linux on the Desktop has happened without anybody noticing or giving a point.
Someone wished for Linux to be a successful desktop OS on a monkey's paw.
Exactly. The best Linux Desktop distro is Windows.
Debatable as user requirements vary drastically. What might be perfect for one user might be wholly inappropriate for another.
