Linux Desktop User Unicorn

Is there a science about who the Linux desktop users are? To me as a user, there doesn't seem to be much coherent public information on the targetable audience.

    Chromebook/ tablet people mostly.

    The most likely users for Linux desktop, don't need a tower. Storage and computing are compact enough.

    The heavy compute workload people have a lot of history of how and what they use, they need to explore their own migration path.

    Sorry, sources are all paywalled.

    Sales in these devices are up, while PCs are stagnant. Go look

    I'm not sure I understand this connection. Linux users aren't necessarily buying new hardware.

    The majority of new Linux users are buying Chromebooks or other devices with it prebuilt
