There’s a long way to go to challenge Microsoft, but Linux is gradually gaining users.

For how many years now?

16 years. There’s no hurry. There are enough users now that we get plenty of good stuff.

On Internet servers, close to 15.

On the desktop, not so much. I don't see it happening until one release aimed for the desktop becomes dominant. Ubuntu is a decent candidate for that.

If a flawless XP emulator (for running the apps) ever got developed, that would help a lot. (Flawless includes painless).
