Assuming you mean desktop Linux, probably slowly. While Linux on desktop is growing, Desktops PC use in general is trending downwards and Linux on mobile is far behind the other players.
My gut says that long before Linux overtakes Windows/Macintosh most people who want a mouse/keyboard/monitor experience will just plug their phone into a simple dock, like we're seeing with Android's "[Desktop mode](https://www.androidpolice.com/i-tried-android-desktop-mode/)".

like we’re seeing with Android’s “Desktop mode”. apple is already in on this game, as well.
