The Next New Year of Linux on the Desktop: 2011?
Those of us who have been part of the FOSS community for more than, oh, say 10 minutes, are no doubt already familiar with the recurring "Year of Linux on the Desktop" debate.
It's a topic that comes up again and again in the Linux blogosphere, typically fueled by some new success or promising advance in our favorite desktop operating system.
The question -- or questions, really -- center on whether Linux has "arrived" on the desktop already, whether it's on the verge of doing so, whether it might possibility get there at some point in the undefined future, and so on. You get the idea.
Well, guess what? It's baaa-ack.

stupid question with stupid answers
why do we still play this idiotic game? linux is and has been perfect for the desktop for a long time. it's been the only thing on my desktop/laptop since 2006. for those whiney little dweebs that find too many choices to be confusing and pee their pants at the mere mention of the cli, stay with the os that does your choosing and thinking for you. if you're not willing to invest some time to learn a new os, stay away! how hard is that??
