Also, the Linux desktop has never been better.

We have reached the point where you can pick any laptop off the shelf and have it work out of the box with Linux. This used to not be possible!

Linux gaming has never been better, now that we have Proton. Games that used to be Windows exclusives now run perfectly on Linux. Linux is now fully viable for video gamers.

GUI tools are now so good that you can use Linux without ever touching the command line.

While Windows may have become worse, Linux has never been better.

Also, laptops used to not last 14 hours on a single charge. Tech is better now.

No, definitely not. But Linux has progressed so far that it's now accessible to people who are terminal-shy.
