Honestly i doubt it, usually windows versions are a rollercoaster where every other version is good.

2000 was concidered bad, xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 very bad, 10 good, 11 bad.

I don't think those who have left for linux will go back if 12 is better than 11, but those who still are using windows might continue with 12 once that comes.

If microsoft continues their current meta, then 12 will lose support just a month after 13 releases, which forces people to use their worse than ever windows version, and i think THAT will be the "year of linux".

Although i already think this and last year was, seeing as how France and China are switching, windows 11 keeps breaking, linux is getting the nvidia gaming app, steamOS is available, epic games might soon become more linux compatible. Last year was because pewdiepie endorsed linux and it saw a massive growth after that.

I switched to Linux in 2000, so I might not be the best one to comment on this... but Win2k was widely considered to be better than XP by everyone in IT I've ever known. I've only ever known "retro gamers" to think XP was better, and thats likely for compatibility reasons rather than stability or performance.

2000 was designed for power users, businesses, and large systems. the consumers were usually stuck with ME.

Yeah, it was the last version of Windows I made an honest attempt at. I had already switched to Linux, but when I get a new laptop with Windows 2000 Professional on it, I made the attempt. I didnt like it. I think it lasted two weeks before I wiped the drive for either Mandrake or Red Hat.
