It’s a running joke in the Linux world: 2016 was the Year of Linux on the Desktop, apparently. Then it was 2017. Then 2018.
We’ve been making this joke since 1998.
Hurd is even older and no one even makes jokes about it. At least with Linux there is a real chance this joke could become reality.
Sounds like another dweeb that’s butthurt because they thought they were special and smart for being able to click “next, next, next, finish” on an OS installer and now that everyone else is doing it they no longer feel special. Cry harder. You see a lot of this type of gatekeeper from the mediocre. It was “their thing” and now that everyone is doing it, it’s no longer “their thing” and they hate it because it was all they had.
I don’t know if any OS will be needed in 900 years.

ChromeOS is Linux as much as Mac is BSD. Nobody except “technically” people mean that. And last I checked, ChromeOS had eve less “market share” than Linux. Linux is as 4% right now and ChromeOS at a single percent. At least do your research before spreading this bilge.
