Every year is the year of Linux desktop :P

[einpoklum]

Desktop Linux is:

* Easy (and gratis) to obtain

* Easy to install, these days, on most machines

* Behaves nicely out of the box - usually, with most popular distributions

* Has good software catering to most user's daily needs, and is well-internationalized and well-localized for the most part.

* Looks nice :-)

So, yes, I'd say that these days, every year is the year of the Linux Desktop.

Installed linuxmint on an old mac mini 2011 and it work quite well. When I think about the tiny desktop format, I believe you can put linux mint on it and got a great general desktop that way, more reliable than a laptop.
