Unfortunately, the technological advancement/research is shifting from actually inventing cool stuff to making the user experience "better".
Basically, in a few years we'll see a lot of companies to become more like apple.
Hell, even now so many companies are becoming more and more like apful.
Also
I hate touch-screens. Fucking ruined technology.
Enjoy the risc-based computers in your colon after a while.
Edit:
Linux probably still doesn't have what it takes to be a popular desktop OS, however the desktop market itself will decrease, so nobody cares.
Shitty future is shit.
