Interesting take away, but one that I'd think is intrinsically wrong.

The Linux desktop is fragmented and gatekept in such a manner that most people of a reasonable mind aren't going to waste tokens on it, and damned sure not going to waste software/support engineer time on it.

Note that none of these complaints are about CLI or server software. "Linux" the kernel + GNU utils + shell handle all of this just fine. The year of the Linux desktop is just never going to happen unless one desktop standard takes over and 'wins' in the short to medium term.

Now, in the longer term when tokens run cheap maybe we'll successfully have 20 different competing, incompatible Linux deskstops, but it doesn't seem likely.
