About 20 years ago I was developing new product (commercial media system) and tried to use Linux. After managing to crash system and my application like few times a day I showed it a middle finger and did it in Windows. Was not worth saving on licensing fee.

I came back to Linux about 3 years ago for writing native servers in C++. The difference in experience is night and day. The system is stable to the point that I do not even notice it. Everything I need works like a charm.

I feel like the only thing holding back the year of the Linux desktop is now apps (more Blender-quality stuff is needed) and people actually taking notice of Linux.
I do not think Linux desktop will happen any time soon if ever.
