If we could get just one of the big tech suites to support it, I think that would help to finally break the dam and get some serious migration.

In my opinion this the unique milestone linux has to achive to be declared as a total winner vs windows, in the near future I would like to see non tech industries using linux instead of microsoft spyware.

Mechanical/civil engineering software, music production, and digital art. Those are the big ones.

There’s a chance it will happen outside the USA.
Deciding to send to the landfill every PC sold after 2018 is a decision that they saw analyzing only numbers from big American corporations. “Anyway they lease the computers and have a refresh every 3-5 years”
But the rest of the world?
Here in Italy I still see people on Windows 7
When I traveled in southeast Asia I saw people using windows XP
Or Brazil, where the import taxes make a windows 11 compatible PC ultra expensive
Regular people and small businesses , especially outside the USA won’t simply buy a new PC just because Microsoft and Intel needed the line to go up.

Even in the USA, although probably not at the rate of other countries, a lot of individuals (especially ones who don’t have enough disposable income or are retirees) will also keep their system configs no matter what Microsoft says.
