How many times have they said "Maybe this year!?!?!"
Well it's been here for a long time except for the corporate and home desktop.

Ask the Cubs!
"The future is here, it's just not very well distributed." I pretty much committed to the Linux desktop a decade ago, and I'm not the only one here, which is pretty curious for a Windows-only product forum. Most of my clients with WIndows desktops (and some with Mac) have Linux as the backend server.
BSD-based OS X and the Linux-based internet have taken significant chunks away from Windows. And even MS is starting to go Linux, as long as they can get people to send them money to do so. And Android is a Linux kernel.
Linux is everywhere. That's a success, in my book.
Winning the desktop? Yeah, what's the point of that? Live off the royalties?
And the irony is, the Year of the Linux Desktop was 2017, when more than half the classroom computers were Chromebooks, powered by Linux.

Imagine that, get the kids hooked on it first. I wonder why no one else ever thought of that.
