Rant: year of Linux on the desktop

A rant about “year of Linux on the desktop” from a tired old man. I’ve been part of the Linux community since before Linux was called Linux. Over the years there’s been many people telling me directly that Linux is silly or wrong or imperfect, or that free and open source software is foolish or pointless. A lot more people have, of course, pontificated along those lines

It's like asking about the year of MacOS on the desktop: depending on your case uses and tastes, for you it happened decades ago or never will happen.

Same for Windows, really.

About the most used desktop OS throne: since nobody ask when will MacOS will overtake Windows, why do people ask the same of Linux? Is it even a good idea?
