Even when installed on a desktop, Linux is not a desktop system but remains a server OS from its heart. This makes it so extraordinary powerful for any users who want to keep control of their software/system.
For folks like me, there is no big point to distinguish between server and desktop. But yes, this view does not hold for the mainstream/non-technical IT user.
