The year of the Linux desktop I'm thinking of was like 2008. That was then it became perfectly usable on the desktop and I haven't had to switch back since.

I don't understand why anyone care's what Linux's "market share" is. It's open source, no one makes money when someone installs Linux.

it's still a market, and "free" is still a price point
