The year of the Linux desktop isn't as interesting anymore. It all sort of works good enough for most people not to need to care now.

What we need is the year of the Linux phone. And it think that we will have to still wait a long time for it. And no, Google/Linux does not count.

The interesting part wasn't gatekeeping with technical difficulty, but MS loss of marketshare and loss to large corps.
