Linux's GUI layer is such a huge weak spot, and it doesn't look like Wayland's gonna fix that (it seems like it's not even set up to address the most serious problems, really).
If they put Fuschia on Android devices & Chromebooks, that'll be about the end of the story for consumer-facing Linux. Then if they can make it work well as a container-hosting server OS and decide to push it for that purpose... well, the year of the Linux anything might be behind us, then.
Neither ChromeOS nor Android use any desktop Linux software such as X, Wayland, Gnome, KDE, or otherwise. As far as I know Chrome still runs fine on Desktop Linux despite this.
