nah fam, 2026 won't be it. linux has been the "next year" meme since like 1998.

what'll actually happen is more people will finally dual-boot linux alongside their weird windows 11 emoji bar setup, realize their games already run on proton, their browser's the same, and then just... never boot back into windows.

the "year of desktop linux" won't be an event - just a slow drift as people get tired of the nonsense. most won't even notice they switched.
