Memes aside, in 2018 the desktop is only relevant to gaming and professional work. Both of which are and will continue to be comfortably covered by Windows and macOS.
So no. It will never be the year of the Linux desktop.

>professional work
What does this mean because I do monte carlo simulations for free gas dynamics and most of what I use, commercially and privately developed, only works on linux.
Anthony Cook
why is mint so popular for people that dont get paid to use linux for a living?
Jack Gutierrez
I meant the most common professional work. Things like audio, video, office, etc.
>I do monte carlo simulations for free gas dynamics
You and how many others? This work isn't going to bring about the year of the linux desktop.
Connor Jackson
too me mint is fucking garbage, this is coming from an ubuntu user.
Juan Wright
Me and probably millions of others who use CART3D or other CFD and particle dynamics simulations. Also isn't most video work done in linux these days? Disney and pixar contribute to the kernel I think. Audio and office work I understand, linux is trash for that.
Ayden Lopez
Point taken.
Regardless, I don't think we'll ever see Linux at the forefront of the desktop.
Gavin Hernandez
Yes in the form of Chromebooks.
John Sanders

All my IDE’s for C++ crash on Ubuntu, I might go back to windows.
Matthew Nelson
I recently switched from Linux to Windows with the Linux subsystem.
I'm surprisingly comfortable with my decision.

You've failed user

Dominic Gomez
>not being able to use both
so these are the salty tears of a Windows user, wow....
Camden Long
>he doesn't use vim
Go back to windows you retarded chicken shit fuck boy!
Colton Walker
It will never be the year of the Linux desktop, since Linux is just a kernel, found in Android, GNU/Linux, etc.
Nathaniel Barnes
because it's shipped with propietary drivers/codecs so linux newcomers won't struggle searching and installing them
Tyler Gomez
It's not gnome and

Retard alert.
Carter Hill
God no. I don't think this will happen and I've used Linux as my workstation OS for the list 15 years.
Anthony Evans
no get over yourself. if it ever will, it won't be for years to come
Lincoln Smith
that's a lot to root for, given that the desktop is dying
Julian Baker
do you really want the average windows user to use your favorite OS?
Mason Adams
Because it's the easiest transition from windows to linux.
Cooper Fisher
to me ubuntu is fucking garbage, this is coming from an mint user.

for 20 years audio work was only viable on macOS...
