But the good news is that it'll be the coolest year for the foreseeable future 🙂

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve's work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

Or just don't voluntarily go somewhere that could result in a "life or death" situation?

Or classic torrents combined with a VPN.

We won't always need it. It'll run out eventually so it has to be replaced at some point. Even if you ignore the climate change part.

Also, a lazy worker at home will be lazy in an office too.

If someone likes to procrastinate, you can't really change that via environment alone.

Now they're all about open floor plans for collaboration (read: for squeezing more people in the same space).

I just don't understand how people find accounts they like to follow.

Millennials, according to Wikipedia,

The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996

After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.

So 1997 would be an older Gen Z

No this isn't right. It's cheaper to have an empty building than a full one so companies who own their buildings would still make more money letting their employees work from home.

Also, even if it was true, no company is going to try to solve a problem like that. Companies are selfish. They'd rather everyone else go back to work to boost the value of commercial real estate while they continue to work from home to increase their profits everywhere.

The only reason companies are forcing people back is because upper management simply prefers that work environment. They like to sit in their corner office, surrounded by their peons. A sense of power.

Or, they have the kind of personality where they thrive surrounded by people and can't understand how anyone could be productive at home, data be damned.

It has nothing to do with real estate.
