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.

On a serious note, I've started to believe it might actually happen one day, in large thanks to Valve and Steam Deck.
And usability, windows gets more and more complicated IMO, and not in the "fun" way Linux can be completed.
Familiarity is big part of usability though. And people are more familiar with Windows.
This ^ I ended up loading up NixOS and Gnome desktop for my wife's old computer. She is not a computer person and was struggling with the slowness of W10 but also how complicated and inconsistent the interface became. She seems placated now.
