Based on the release history, Linux 7 will probably be in several years. Maybe (20-7)/4 years, assuming about 4 releases per year and assuming it'll be version 6.20 that is the restarting point as was last time.

I don't think anyone can know for sure what big thing is going in 3 years from now.

I doubt. Linux 64 will be the thing. Just wait and see!
