The main problem with waiting for the year of Linux on the desktop is that we mainly use towers and laptops now

@foone the year of Linux on the desktop will come in the next economic downturn when the general public starts doing its computing on last-generation Dell SFF boxes that cost 30$ on the secondary market because they can't upgrade to Win11. Relatedly, no one can convince me that SFF boxes aren't desktops.

@foone I feel like the year of the Linux Desktop was that year back in the late 90s when all of the companies replaced their desktop fleets and flooded the market with perfectly good used ones that could be had for under $50 and weren't quite good enough to run the latest version of Windows. Like... it was the rebound after the .com bubble when things got stable enough to resume investing in IT upgrades like the sector had a future... before it crashed again a few years later.
