Did we already discard Win11 as Linux biggest chance?

Depends on your definition. Looking back, I think we'll see 11 as the major shift into the mainstream, but there's no chance of it becoming a majority this generation.

Linux's biggest chance so far

I think increasingly larger and larger exposure is what we want

I'm guessing that PCs preloaded with Windows 12 will have locked bootloaders.

I think in WWIII in about ten years time, one major front of the war will be the Open Sourcers fighting against the Corporatists .... it won't matter what country anyone is for or against, it will just be a fight for human independence.

Give the fight about a hundred years and it will lead to something that looks like the Matrix and no one will remember why the fight started but we slow humans will be fighting an unwinnable war against computers and machines ...... and the reality won't be as heroic or hopeful as the movies.
