This is the Year of Linux on the Desktop
Every year on Slashdot or some Linux-promoting website, you'll hear claims that such-and-such will be the year of desktop Linux. It's as if the last digit on the year increases by one that it increases the chance that my grandmother will be using Ubuntu or whatever popular distribution of the year instead of Windows 98, XP, Vista, or whatever version of Microsoft's operating system that has since been released.
Slashdot was chosen because it chooses to run these articles frequently. You would think that in the past decade or so that Slashdot that has been around that they'd realise that it will not happen. I am not one to advocate a particular operating system, but reality is sort of distorted for this group of people.
This article is here to show that every year has been the year of Linux on the desktop, and I think that every next year will be indeed such.
