Kevin Boone: Rant: 2026 will not be the ‘Year of Linux on the Desktop’ – and I’m glad

Why are we complaining about the smallness of the proportion of desktop computers that run Linux – perhaps we should be celebrating instead?

    It’s a running joke in the Linux world: 2016 was the Year of Linux on the Desktop, apparently. Then it was 2017. Then 2018.

    We’ve been making this joke since 1998.

      Hurd is even older and no one even makes jokes about it. At least with Linux there is a real chance this joke could become reality.
