I don't think people who want to switch or run Linux does a search for "linux desktop" more likely they've heard of some and do a search for that.

My first thought: What normal person uses the word "Desktop"?

It doesn't sound weird in the context of "Year of the linux desktop", because we are so used to that meme, but otherwise, the word "desktop" seems old-fashioned. See also[1].
