Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

Agreed. I've made the same argument myself, fully on board. I had my year of the Linux Desktop two decades ago. 😄

I just... As long as we don't actually take it seriously that "this might be the year of the Linux Desktop" and get disappointed that it isn't — by some unknown metric (seriously, what's even the definition of the "year of the Linux Desktop"?) — then it's fine. 😊👍
