Linux seems to be gaining a lot of traction, both with the fall of windows and gaming being more than feasible.

It makes sense for the tech savvy option to succeed, now that personal computing is disappearing. Average folks won’t use a windows/macbook, they’ll use phones and tablets.

My only concern is ending in a macOS+asahi situation where supporting a single device requires mountains of effort.

Less fragmentation, more focus, OEM support on devices selling on regular stores is needed, otherwise we won't get away from the yearly meme.
