Well maybe Linux most likely to hit ~7% global OS market share and total 5%+ Steam Survey user share next 10 years (its just prediction)

Over 15% marketshare in India

Dunno. I don't live there.

Keep dreaming. Not that I hope Linux doesn't do well. But I can't imagine it'll continue to grow into the future.

I hope it languishes around 3-4% at most, if it does get 7%-10% enshitification inevitably ensues and it will grow more and get worse

If that happens, you can just switch to another distro. That's the point of Linux

I'd be more than happy to sacrifice a distro I don't care about like Ubuntu to the mainstream if it means Microsoft's market cap gets a sizeable chunk taken out of it.
