"The Year of the Linux Desktop" is like "The Year of Eternal World Peace."
What is "year of"? What does it mean? The year that GNU/Linux achieved all that
users require? The year that it forced Microsoft into price parity ($0)? The
year when you could phone a shop and have Linux preinstalled? The year that
GNU/Linux could practically comprise only Free software?
Remember that Linux strives not to have a monopoly or "make loads of money."
Linux wins when it enables its users, whoever they are, to have freedom on
their own personal computer.
By some definitions, "year of Linux" is well behind us.
