My Year of the Linux Desktop was 1999, when Win98 OSR2 died and I had to pick between my Red Hat Linux 5 CD, or waiting a week and a half to get another windows disc. Took about 3 hours to get online over PPP (their configuration manager didn't work, but all the docs were included!), and I was installing Enlightenment 0.14 before the end of the night.
UEFI is painless on every distribution but vanilla Arch/Gentoo/Debian installs. Anyone using (k/x/l)ubuntu probably didn't even notice UEFI just works.
