It does seem that Apple are keen on migrating their users to Linux of late.

I'm actively considering going back to Linux myself, and have already jettisoned a bunch of apple products.

Is it conceivable that the conventional desktop market will shrink to a core of Linux hackers developing software that runs on the tablets and phones of everyone else? With IDEs provided by MS/Google/whoever but not OSs? Finally, the year of the Linux desktop arrives, when the desktop comes to an end.
