I've often thought that migration to Linux would probably happen slowly rather than en masse.  One problem is that, while there has been more and more software developed for Linux, there are still some programs for other platforms that don't have a version or an equivalent in Linux, and it will take time to develop more Linux software.  It's not going to happen overnight.

Another thing is that there are a lot of people these days who seem to mainly use a tablet or smartphone and might not even have a desktop or laptop computer to run Linux on.  So for desktop operating systems, the market is probably more limited now than it used to be.

However, in recent years I have been seeing more software for Linux, and it seems thereh as been more of an effort to support Linux from some companies. I think one big hurdle is PC gaming - but Steam has been supporting Linux more and more.  I've also recently become aware of Proton, which is supposed to help run some Windows games in Linux.  I've also seen more Linux native ports of some PC games as well.
