    Granted, now Chrome OS has 100% market share. Google owns everyone’s privacy.

    It only happened because Windows now uses the Linux kernel. KDE foundation got bought by Microsoft, Red Hat sold to Tencent.

    Granted. Everybody’s boomer parents and grandparents across the globe now call you, and only you, for support. You are on call, 24/7, until all support issues are resolved.

      - I was watching Vinnetou: The Last Shot and then I see The native peer died unexpectedly.

      - That’s just what happens in the film. What’s next, number columns on screen when you started The Matrix? Skipping in Groundhog Day?

        Basically the God’s email part of Bruce Almighty.

        Eventually OP creates a ticket system to manage all the incoming support requests. They finally lose it when Mrs. Johnson has somehow run “sudo rm -rf /” for the 6th time this week and has also somehow managed to disable preserve root.

    It’s Red Star Linux. You can patch out the spyware but that requires about 10 terminal commands and 95% of people say it’s not worth the trouble.

    Granted. Microsoft ports the Linux kernel to Windows and it replaces the NT Kernel. The Windows API remains the same and users are none-the-wiser.

    A major solar flare destroys all electronics on Earth and its orbit. The only computer that survives is the Perseverance rover on Mars, which famously runs the Linux kernel.

    Granted. You’re the Linux expert all your family will ask for tech support. They all have different package managers, desktop environments, and init systems. Over half of them still hunt and peck when typing.

    Granted! AAA Game Developers have all moved to console exclusive titles, and businesses have moved to all mobile. With that, Windows leaves the market leaving place for only Linux.

    Granted. “I use Arch”, is now a common catch phrase, so popular it’s part of a Broadway show.

    Granted, now all computers run Linux. For a year. Then every computer switches back to windows, including all servers.
