The Web is the reason why Linux desktop doesn't matter at all, as proven by ChromeOS. Android and WebOS.

Whatever kernel is running under the browser is meaningless to userspace.

Hence why many just get whatever Electron apps one throws at them.

Yeah, but that's awesome! The end user has the free choice of what OS they want to use. What's the problem with that?
