I've been using Linux on my private machines for 20+ years, so to me, every year is the year of the Linux desktop.
But I also think it's actually a good thing I'm part of a tiny minority. Malware authors target Windows because it dominates the desktop. If suddenly 25% of the world's desktop users switched to, say, Ubuntu and GNOME, that would probably change. Right now, I enjoy all the benefits Windows users get from their desktops, without the drawbacks.
