Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn't targeting desktop Linux.

Which is going to change once any sort of widespread adoption happens.

But at least in my circles, malware really isn't that big of a deal in security. Phishing is where the danger is these days, where the costs occur.

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.
