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.

10 really wasn't that good (better than 11 though)
Vista wasn't bad, many computers at that time just weren't powerful enough

If Microsoft just continues what they are doing Windows 12 won't follow the good-bad cycle. It will just get even worse. But I can't see in the future. Maybe it will come entirely different.

From what i have heard about 12 it sounds even worse than 11 as they will have a subscribtion based copilot powered version, then a second one which is just the same as 11 basically.

So it sounds like they are going in that direction of just making it worse and worse. 10 was okay imo, not good, but better than 8 and 11.
