Hope they push so hard to a point that finally most of users adopt Linux and developers focus more in Linux
Unpopular opinion: I'm concerned that widespread adoption of Linux would mean a reduction in functionality for power users. Considering that the majority of "regular user" effort seems to be going into gaming, I'm doubly concerned that the first major group to embrace Linux would be Gamers, a demographic I think is capable of doing untold damage to the ecosystem at large.
I'd probably move to FreeBSD if things got to that point.
EDIT: by "Gamers" I don't mean people who like video games, I mean the people who make video games their entire personality and assume they understand everything about a computer because they managed to install Steam without blowing away their entire OS.
Arch isn’t going anywhere. There will always be builds for power users. If not, forks will happen.
