I don't think there will a "year" of the Linux desktop. The climb to take over will take more than a year. A "Decade of the Linux Desktop" seems more apt and I think this is it. 2020-2030 will be this change. SteamOS and Proton has bridged the Gaming gap and entry level for average users so well and it's only going to get better.

Exactly, there was a huge change in attitude and since then every year is a year of the linux desktop

Despite having used it in the past, never ran Linux main. This year will be the first time ever, nervous but exciting. M$ really pushed hard enough that I don't want to bother with another Windows (started at 3.1).

2026 is legitimately the year of desktop Linux

What is the exact qualification in order to be called "the year of the Linux desktop"? I have been using Linux on my desktop computer(s) for almost two decades. Was my year of the Linux desktop this year also?
