    Pay no attention to desktop dying as people lose awareness of personal computing and lock themselves into closed ecosystems.

      I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don’t even own a laptop let alone a desktop.

      I know it was becoming more niche, but didn’t expect it to happen that fast…

        It’s weird that I had a tower desktop as a kid when it was niche, and I still have a tower desktop 35 years later when it’s niche again.
