fake today, but a very real possibility in the not-so-distant future.

The year that happens would be the year of Linux desktop. Which is also said to be a not-so-distant future for over a decade.

"Next year will be the year of the Linux desktop, I swear"

The trick is to know that this is the decade of the Linux desktop

Could be, but the rumor of something like this happening had existed since the Vista era.

I don't think it's happening mostly because there is no real benefit for Microsoft. IP holders are not hounding Microsoft, and their store market share is inexistent.

Buuuuuuuuut just in case I use arch (btw)

For a while Sony TVs didn’t allow the playback of .MKVs because they were the most pirated format.

It’s kinda the Media Players choice what formats they want to support in the end.

if this were to happen trust me when i say pluton's role in enforcing it will be little to none.
