When someone says this, it's a recurring joke, but when I've read your comment, it's the first time I actually think it may happen.

Well, I don't expect a takeover at all, but perhaps I envision something like this year's Reddit migration: I imagine some individuals or companies won't stand for it and switch to Linux.

So maybe in one year Linux on desktop will go from 2% global installations, to 3% or 4% which would be a colossal uptake!

(I admit I've not checked the current percentage of Linux installations, it was 2% years ago, but maybe it's already higher)
