Hey DT! I would disagree with some of your points. I-ve tried all the most popular DE (and dozens of distributions) but I always come back to Ubuntu (with Gnome nowadays). In my view Gnome is the best choice for modern desktop computing at the moment, so I don-t see any reason for them to replace it unless there will be misunderstanding between Canonical and the Gnome team . I miss Unity though. Similarly with snaps - I use them all the time almost from the beginning and I really have nothing to complain about. Also I would disagree about MS Office - with Teams it is a different story. Unfortunately I have to use Teams on a daily basis for the past 3 years and it is horrible. It is even worse on Linux as it has been a preview version so far, so they use linux community just to test it rather to take it seriously. Also as they already had a web version it took them nothing to pack it for linux with Chromium engine under the hood. MS Office won-t be available for linux until the big corporations and governments show some interest in using linux for their employees. Happy New Year!

Best wishes for your recovery, I enjoyed those predictions, much lol at an emacs window-manager distro, I want to see that - I know -someone- will eventually buy SuSE but I'm not sure acquiring a commercial distribution is exactly part of Microsoft's gameplan: although they do react to whatever IBM does and competing with IBM with a pet distro of their own sounds like a thing, their new CEO is proving he has a gift for lateral thinking and I think their plans are going to prove more subtle than that. The success of vscode on linux and the evolution of mono towards dotnet gives Microsoft that firm base for Office, but means we could be looking at the kind of partnerships that goes way beyond just distros.

My prediction is at least one AAA rated game developer will release a game for Windows 11 that has an EXE that launches a 100% Linux game in WSL that runs as an AppImage with all dependencies incorporated into the package including display drivers and a tiling window manager to control it's GUI and it will be a major success on Windows and Linux that will open the floodgates for single platform cross platform development. I mean Windows baked Linux into their OS why not take advantage of it to make it easier to make your game cross platform and speed up development. I mean what are the odds that Windows 11 isn't just Windows 10 with a new theme running on top of a Linux hypervisor anyhow?

i am happy to hear that you are getting better and i really hope it keeps getting better from here. oh also happy new year from Australia!
ps: i have finally went into the bios settings of my lenovo thinkpad 11e and changed some settings, i am no longer scared of breaking my uefi bios. also, for the past few days i have been testing a wide range of Linux distros (Ubuntu, zorin, manjaro and i am going to test out fedora 35 today!) zorin and manjaro have been freezing for a solid few minutes each so i will probably not go with those if it keeps going. as i mentioned, i will be testing fedora 35 today but tomorrow, i am thinking of testing Debian 11, wish me luck!

#8 Slackware still will not see a new release.
15.0 Alpha was released 2/16/21
15.0 Beta was released 4/13/21
15.0 RC1 was released 8/16/21
15.0 RC2 was released 11/18/21
I know this because I am using Slackware current (post 14.2 -current). When I had Manjaro update the boot menu and 15 showed up I knew something was going on. I think it is fair to say 15.0 will come out this year.
Edit: Also looking at Distrowatch, 14.2 came out about 2 1/2 months after RC2 of that version, so that would be early February if we apply that to 15.0.

Happy new Year to you too! Haven't run into anything in the past year to knock me off of Linux Mint, so I'll claim a good year. So what if I load another 4-5 distros on my test bed - Linux Mint just freaking works!

What DE do you think Ubuntu will replace Gnome with? What would be better as the default for the beginners? I know SteamOS 3.0 is gonna be using KDE which is probably a good call.

Nope. MS Office can't work in Linux & so it can't be released for Linux
If they intend to release for Linux then they've to entirely re-write the App
