IPv6 is waiting on stubborn cloud networks and CDNs. Most of the edge now has it. My guess is that it’s mostly reluctance to introduce complexity when most customers are not asking for it. The biggest holdouts seem to be connected to Microsoft, with GitHub being one of the most relevant.

The Linux desktop will arrive if we just wait for Microsoft to keep making Windows worse. Linux doesn’t have to get better. MS just needs to incorporate more ads.

Depends on the ISP. E.g. a lot of Verizon/Frontier FiOS residential customers don't have ipv6. Google statistics say USA is ~47% ipv6. Frontier FiOS is less % than that.
