Word on the tech business side is that everyone is ready to flip to Linux or an Android alternative (Opensource with all the paid for attachments to bring it up to speed) as operating systems are much more accessible now and Microsoft has lost its way.
We'll see though as they flip and flop with their decisions more than the white papers that ZDNet used to use to make recommendations.
Linux is never going to be a viable replacement for Windows unfortunately. I can't think of a pithy way to phrase it, but by it's nature it will never be coherent and reliable enough with a cohesive design such that it can take the place of Windows. It's simply a byproduct of its nature as an open source OS. At best it can be a stop-gap for dedicated autists looking to escape the Microsoft environment but it will never reach the point where it's going to be a functional replacement for the Windows desktop.
Linux as an escape hatch is outright cope and willful denial of reality.
You're highlighting my point by lamenting the need to herd the cats into achieving anything meaningful. Linux will continue to be what it always was and not what people wish it could become.
