This means Linux has "made it."

I guess that grit was a gateway to a basic Linux experience for a long time - it did take a lot of effort to get a normal desktop running in the early to mid 90's. But that was never going to last - technical people tend to solve problems and open source means they're going to be available to anyone. There are new frontiers to apply the grit.
