Much like nuclear fusion, the year of the Linux desktop is just on the horizon. Jokes aside, desktop apps on Linux are more common than ever, thanks to Electron. We all bemoan the continued gobbling of good, sensible software by the bloated web, but I'm forced to admit that it's actually kind of nice to have some level of support for commercial desktop applications, even if it's not quite first-class. By contrast, the state of the Linux desktop is a little less sunny. No matter what your opinion on Wayland actually is, you certainly have to admit that the transition is not going very well.
