It might be, it is not too crazy to believe that, but it is not what it seems today.
I suppose "Linux is the language of the future" was a typo and you meant "Linux is the OS of the future".

I believe it is. It's the OS for servers for a long time, and the desktop is almost there. There's some work to replace android with linux too. OSX is already linux (or a kind of).
The fact is that windows future doesn't seem promising, does it?

I have 3 PCs and a laptop at home. My own PC is the only one with Windows because all the tools I need requires it and it would take me months to move everything, but I'm trying.
VB6 is already installed but not deeply tested, and my lovely Visual Objects (my primary programming language) is already running there and seems to work fine.

My other PC is a server with Debian 9 for a long time, with lots of things for work and home use. It serves some movies for my kids, that they use from a small box connected to the TV. This box came with android, but it's now with CoreElec, a small linux distribution to run Kodi.

My wife's PC is currently running Lubuntu and she's happy with it. Apart from the browser she only needs Adobe Photoshop and it is working flawlessly in there (my wife even said it appears faster on linux).

My 11 yo daughter has a laptop with Lubuntu that amazes her math teacher at school. Unfortunately, they use MS Office at the school and my daughter uses LibreOffice, and it seems there are a few formatting issues, tho nothing serious.

Anyway, with windows going from bad to even worse we don't have too many options, so the faster you adapt the safe you are.

So, yes, I believe linux is the future. It's already the most used OS in the world.
