The comments on this vid about why people moved to Linux or not are
always interesting. Most of them are pro-Linux of course.

Absolutely none of that makes any kind of sense.
He's referring to Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Bloaty thinks MS adding it as a feature bothers me and is a victory for
Linux. He forgets Microsoft has had a *nix component available
continuously for Windows for 25 years.
Rather than bother me, I'm glad MS made it so easy to run a
high-performing Linux distro alongside Windows.
$ wsl --list --online

The Linux desktop environment won't have any kind of a victory until
companies willingly sell it in stores and actually make a profit. Until
then, it'll be niche. It works well, it's pretty, but it remains niche.
A gigantic "niche."
