    The slogan is a complete meme at this point. A meme that indicates it’s the year of the linux desktop!

      Yeah, it just comes off sarcastic to me, which apparently means people think Linux is not popular enough to talk about or something. I don’t know, it just rubs me the wrong way.

          I’ll have you know I’m completely serious and not poking fun at myself when I mention I use Arch, BTW!

          I think the year of Linux memes are fun. :D

          You can, but Linux needs good press, and many would see this “joke” as another reason to avoid the whole ecosystem.

        I guess the hope is that a large amount of people will suddenly switch to Linux, maybe because of social media popularity, a breaking windows change, or maybe a popular computer manufacturer shipping only Linux by default.

        But even if that does happen, I would think it would result in an increased adoption rate, not everyone switching to Linux over the course of a year.
