      The year of the Linux desktop was probably the year Microsoft introduced WSL. It’d be a non-trivial percentage of total Linux desktop users.

      If you need to run both Windows and Linux for whatever reason, Windows with WSL is a better experience than Linux with WINE (or a Windows VM). WSL can run GUI apps now, too.

        I still stand by the stance that dual booting is better. Especially if you care about smooth performance and don’t have the hardware capability to run a VM smoothly.
