    Counter argument, every year is the year of the linux desktop because its a good meme to share our enthusiasm for the platform.

    Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

    It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond it, there is no failure condition or something to chase.

      Agreed. I’ve made the same argument myself, fully on board. I had my year of the Linux Desktop two decades ago. 😄

      I just… As long as we don’t actually take it seriously that “this might be the year of the Linux Desktop” and get disappointed that it isn’t — by some unknown metric (seriously, what’s even the definition of the “year of the Linux Desktop”?) — then it’s fine. 😊👍
