For me, year of the Linux desktop was 2003. Year of Linux desktop on my laptop (wifi and battery were an issue for awhile) was 2007.

For my wife, year of the Linux desktop was 2011.

You're right, and sometimes (when a kernel update is released for example), the Year of Linux desktop retoactively gets changed.

That hasn't been my experience and I run Fedora, which is known for running cutting edge technology, compared to more stable distros like Debian.

Admittedly, I know how to use linux, so I might not notice problems that beginners do.
