It doesn’t even matter how good Linux is or how bad Windows gets, Linux is lacking the one thing that made Windows mainstream: Billions of dollars in marketing and brand recognition.
The big difference being that most people don’t know or care to learn how to download their own OS. Installing a browser is quick and easy in comparison.
I’ve been out of the tech world a minute now so maybe its changed but last I knew no PCs came with Linux preinstalled and you can’t just get a Linux OS disk to use to install.
Windows will never come close to replacing Linux! There’s way more Linux out there than there is Windows.
Presumably you mean on the personal desktop. In which case I still disagree in the very long term. I think at some point Windows will be replaced by *nix based systems in the vein of OSX and Chrome OS.

Linux is missing more than that. It, by nature, has no direction.
It has many directions, not none.
Same problem, different cause.
Right and Windows’ direction is so clear and not hype-driven at all
Boo! Hiss!

Been hearing this for decades and it has not happened.

Wdym? It replaced it five years ago on my PC! You must feel really stupid right about now.
