Idk one of my siblings who I never chalked up as a non-windows user and not particularly tech savvy sent me a screenshot of their linux install.

Yes. 2026 was an interesting year for Linux desktop.

More of my friends installed Linux in response to Windows 11 than I imagined possible.

I think I noticed a correlation with their having a kid in the house who owned a SteamDeck. There's a generation who are learning Linux in order to mod their games.
