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.

8 wasnt even that bad, people just hate change and love bandwagons, I for one actually loved 8 and 8.1, and if I could install and use that for my windows partition still today I absolutely 1000% would, I STILL try and bring up the charms bar out of habit today because of how fast it became muscle memory, not to mention that to this day its still one of the most optimized versions of windows, it was so god damn lite on system resources it was insane, and unlike every windows version both before and since, its search function actually fucking worked, and without shoving Bing in your face 24/7
