For me and a lot of folks I know, "the year of the Linux desktop" has already been a reality for ages now … and before anyone tries to feed me some bullshit line about "normies can't handle Linux", I've had many "normal" folks ask me to help them get started with Linux over the years, and every single one of them has been perfectly happy with it once they got used to the few little differences they noticed. The trick is to help them find and focus on the similarities so they're not totally lost and confused, and to help them avoid the stumbling blocks by introducing them early on to the important differences that really matter, so they aren't bringing Windows or Mac mistakes and methods to their new operating system. (The package manager / app store is one good example of that.) Truth is that with each passing year of improvement, Linux becomes ever more "desktop ready" for a growing number of potential users.
