It has a lot of momentum, so it will continue to dominate. But I wonder if it will decline over the long term as Linux continues to improve. Similar to how smartphones barely differentiate themselves from one another these days (compared to the past) maybe operating systems will have a similar fate. Maybe I’m a bit naive, but perhaps Linux will eventually have all the stability and ease of use of Windows, while also offering privacy, customization, and open-source benefits so there will be no real reason to use windows and the split will be more even.
Maybe... eventually...
honestly, i think linux is there. like, at this point, i don't think it's linux's own lack of merits holding it back, but solely the lack of support from software companies.
