Offer and support desktop Linux?

Windows keeps dropping the ball and Linux just stands there looking at it on the ground.

I think that Canonical is doing an excellent job. It's been at least a decade that you could easily install Kubuntu on most computers and things would just work with no configuration. It's easy to use for the vast majority of use cases and reasonably secure.

Canonical: Gnome was stable Let's water two years making unity Now let's go back to gnome, two more years of instability Now let's force everyone onto snaps

Canonical has done a lot to help Linux, but their recent dogma and churn is a huge missed opportunity.
