testman OP ,

lol
but this does bring up a real concern:
I highly doubt that “desktop PCs” will still be a thing in 7 decades.
the desktop/laptop will most likely get replaced by something else
and if modern PCs have some roadblocks for installing any OS you want (SecureBoot, and soon Microsoft Pluton), then imagine how much harder it will be on the next iteration of personal devices.
Well, “will be”. Already is. On phones. Most phones require serious wizardry or make it basically impossible to install other OS on them.
And as far as I see, phones will be the thing that takes place of PCs.

so yes, I would not mind if the FOSS community abandons the whole Year Of The Linux Desktop™ meme right now and instead starts to focus on ensuring that the upcoming platform will allow us to have the freedom. Let Microsoft enjoy the dominance on PC. Maybe challenge them every now and then. But the primary focus of FOSS community should be the preemptive liberation of the platform that will follow PC.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
