From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to "win" be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.
More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn't need to "beat" Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE's that anyone wants to make.
It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it's not up to Pop_OS to do that, it's up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.
couldn't agree more on a long enough timeline we win.
