I think the thing that will really push it into this kind of territory is if a company sells their desktop PCs with Linux already installed.
Similar to how Steam used Linux for the Steam Deck and how that allowed far, far more people to experience Linux.
Similar to how Linux (Android) has a huge market share on phones - because it came pre-installed!
Like most normal people, outside of tech probably haven’t even heard of Linux. Some people arent even aware there are more options other than Windows.
So yeah, I think the more that big companies start selling their products with Linux pre-installed, the closer we get to 20%!
(Side note I think Linux might be closer to 10% already, although theres no real way to tell. Most estimates we have are massive underestimates since most people simply turn off telemetry on their Linux installs where possible, we Linux users are not usually the type to allow our data to be harvested so easily lol)
