Why will the Year of the #Linux Desktop always be next year?

Because we're still trying to decide on the perfect window manager 🙄

@nixCraft I have kept hearing "the year of Linux on the desktop will definitely be in five years' time" for ages, FWIW
@pitrh @nixCraft It's been the year of Linux on the desktop for many years for me, and in general terms it works so well for me that I get a little bored and am awaiting the year of FreeBSD on the Laptop. 
@mikael @nixCraft oh, for me it's been OpenBSD on the laptop for years (the thing referenced in https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2010/01/goodness-of-men-and-machinery.html was not the first by far), usually while also keeping at least one LInux laptop for $DAYJOB reasons. For the last few years, though, it's been juggling OpenBSD and macOS instead for laziness reasons.
The Goodness of Men and Machinery

If you keep them to their promises, what will corporations and individuals do? Plus, the general goodness of OpenBSD and its installer. H...

@pitrh @nixCraft yes, I have a feeling OpenBSD has worked better on (at least some) laptops than FreeBSD for very long.
