In general this sentence is why the Year of Desktop Linux won't come in this millennia. Not only XOrg vs Wayland. Many such cases. Sad!

No, the reason "Linux on the Desktop" won't happen is that it's not shipped by any (significant) hardware manufacturer for general desktop use. No one (in the scheme of things) installs an OS that didn't come with their hardware, and they never will. Open source developers, contributors and purists can't change that, no matter how hard they try.

But, Android is a thing, and Linux is literally everywhere. OS has won, even if the mythical "Desktop Linux" didn't.

Yep. Massive default installation is the ONLY way.
