We're witnessing the beginning of the end of Microsoft as an OS company.

Keep going. The faster the better. Imagine if billions went into Linux and opensource every year. It could be way better. The only thing I'm afraid of is companies starting to decide the future of linux. Everything would die in committee or they'd try and enshittify it to the max by adding proprietary kernel modules, filesystems and whatever else in order to get an upper hand.
