Hurd will have its day once Linux makes it on the desktop :-)
Linux has made it to the desktop, packaged inside VMs served by Apple, Microsoft and Google.
However the recent success of gaming-related distros such as SteamOS and Bazzite seem to be succeeding where Usability-focused distros such as Mint, Pop!, and Zorin couldn't get deep traction
I hope Hurd has its day. Maybe in 100 years or something.

That's not really what everyone means. However the recent success of gaming-related distros such as SteamOS and Bazzite seem to be succeeding where Usability-focused distros such as Mint, Pop!, and Zorin couldn't get deep traction
Ubuntu is "like Windows but not" which is mostly relevant to people boycotting Windows. Steam Deck is "a gamebox" which people who already like games might want to buy. Bazzite is "a thing that turns your computer into a gamebox." Of course, people don't actually want gameboxes either - they want to play games - but it's a few steps closer.

Also lets not forget those distros play Windows games, because hardly any studio bothers with native Linux games.
