    Closer to the EoL time, someone is going to release a version of Linux that is basically windows, with a super locked down interface etc to make it so newbies can install and use with zero CLI or setup.

    Or at least some serious consumer-grade onboarding.

    Presumably it will have reduced functionality to make it as stable as humanly possible too.

    And they’ll probably become one of the larger distributions until people get the confidence to “upgrade” to a more complex one.

        Didn’t know that was a thing outside of steam deck.

        But yeah I’m waiting until the last moment because it’s likely that’s when the best contender will appear.
