Will 2018 be the year of the linux desktop?

Kernel desktop?

Is that a serious question

Works on my machine

No.

No.

What do you think?

It can't be the year of the Linux desktop since the desktop is dead

KDE

Makes you wonder what piece of software is running at the core of windows. Maybe they'll call it a nut, seed, or endosperm.

>motto of the KDE devevelopers

It's actually called just Windows NT kernel.

>>Has Linux gotten better in 2017?
Yes, significantly.
>>Does it play all the games yet?
No, but most work with wine.
>>Does it run all the commercial software?
Most of it, and the majority of people don't need adobe.
>>Will 2018 be the year of the linux desktop?
>What do you think?
No, because of Microsoft's anticompetitive scummy business practices.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

The same old lies every year. Or is this false flagging?

>The same old lies every year. Or is this false flagging?
Ironic that you say that. Why does your average consumer need professional image/video editing software? Especially when there are free alternatives that do the majority of functions of said commercial software.

As for games, the majority do work as of recently

2017 already is

For who?

For people looking for a robust open source operating system that suits a very special need, yes just like it always has.
For my everyone else?
No.

Never. Linux is for ugly faggots and it doesnt even work that well

Every year is the year of the Linux Desktop user.
