khleedril comments on Linux Desktop Market Share Surpasses 10% in North America

For me, it's when Linux was a viable desktop operating system to daily drive and still be fairly compatible with other operating systems, which was ages ago.

@victorz For me, that was 1993. But I always took 'year of the desktop' to allude to the time when it became popular with other people.

I feel like 50% market share is a bit steep. I think we're well past the point where anyone can and should be running Linux on the desktop.

The possibility of it is there, and that's good enough for me, to be honest. Saying it's not the year until we already have dominance I feel is a bit too much to ask.

But I guess it's about ambition. Do we want to include the downfall of Apple and Microsoft into this? Then we'll have to wait a long time, and work very hard.
