Linux

[Lonni J Friedman]

That's not even true any more.  A lot of games have moved to Steam,
which works fine on Linux now.  And Android/iOS gaming has become a
thing.  My ex-employer, nVidia has been massively hyping their android
based consoles for gaming for a few years.

Plus the movement to throwing everything "in the cloud" (such
wonderful ambiguous marketing!) has only shifted things faster to a
thin client (android/iOS) with a beefy server (Linux) paradigm.  the
age of desktop computing is really over for anything that isn't a
business use case.
