This is utterly ridiculous. Unless you're a long-time Unix hacker or system administrator (I was the latter for ten years), trying to do anything in Linux is time-consuming, difficult, and ultimately very frustrating. Desktop Linux was always be a backwater for techies and it has absolutely no hope of widespread adoption like Windows or macOS.

The article continues to grasp and cling onto straws, to actually prove that a minority of StackOverflow techies who bothered to fill in the survey are using their machines as a Linux Desktop and not normal users as proof of 'widespread adoption'.

A long time delusion preached by Linux Desktop techies. The Year of the Linux Desktop has ended with Windows being the best Linux Distro.
