Desktop for Linux has been here for a decade. It does not count because most people are not even aware of an Operating System, much less do they care.
I am not sold on the idea that a Linux desktop is any harder than one of the others. The people who find it hard are the so called power users. Anyway, the whole debate is moot as the desktop is dead. I do not mean extinct but it is becoming irrelevant from a consumer point of view. I suspect the modern desktop is going to live on as a niche that is outside the mainstream consciousness. I found the comment about tech friends kind of funny. How many people have tech friends that can actually help them with Macs or Windows?
