According to the StatCounter, Linux on the desktop has continued to rise and remains above 4%, with this being the healthiest it's ever looked on the desktop.
What’s odd to me is the cultural zeitgeist has moved to folks being aware that Microsoft (& Google & Apple) is collecting data on them to being the butt of jokes, yet those folks aren’t adopting an alternatives. With over a decade on Linux I’m now pretty out of touch with the opposite feeling. I guess the closest analog I have is not being able to realistically leave Android behind, but that is more hardware than software (banking app already don’t let you root or otherwise flash your device so I have given up hope in trying with them).

It's unfortunately only developed for the Pixel series of phones, but I've been using my banking apps on GrapheneOS with no issues.
Is that with a locked bootloader and sandbox google play?
yup
Yep. If it doesn’t have a headphone jack, I don’t want the phone so no to Pixels.
I'm using Kitsune Mask right now and it's working pretty well on hiding root from my banking app and Google pay.
