Maybe this is what linux desktop needed to finally break through. But not yet, only after everyone realizes how much freedom they gave up in a couple more years

Nope. It is too late. It is finally going to be the era of the Linux Desktop :).

Of course, it's only a matter of time before Linux succeeds on the desktop.

Yeah maybe it will finally be the year of the linux desktop...

Maybe this is the year of Linux on desktop.

On the bright side, maybe censorship will be what finally sparks the Linux Desktop.

Will this finally be the year of the Linux desktop? Nope.

Maybe this will be the year of Linux on the desktop.

This sounds like it's finally going to be the year of Desktop Linux.

Maybe now the Year of the Linux Desktop has truly arrived.

I used linux on the desktop full-time until 20 years ago, and even back-then it was already going to be "year of the linux desktop". It's simply never going to get there, and I'm fine with that.

I don't believe linux desktops have hit their stride yet.

A few more years.


Seems like finally the year of the linux desktop has come.

Kind of proves the point why next year is going to be the year of Linux desktop.

It was a good run. Mainstream linux desktop will be the beginning of the end.

Some day The Year of The Linux Desktop is gonna prove all the skeptics and doubters wrong.

So you're saying this is finally the year of the Linux Desktop?

The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. Year of the Linux Desktop arrived for me, in earnest, sometime in the mid-nineties. Maybe 2022 will be the year of the Linux desktop for a few more people.

That won't happen until desktop Linux is usable by non-tech people, and they have easy access to it (pre-installed, simple install, etc.). There's been a lot of progress, however there are still plenty of issues. Not to mention application support.

Maybe the "year of the linux desktop" will finally come.
