I guess, reading the linked article would explain this, it's what the article is about.

I guess that's more Chromebooks (laptops) than true desktops.

I'm probably missing something subtle in this comment.

Linux laptops are as Linux as Linux desktops. I had a Linux desktop in the 90s but all my Linux boxes have been laptops since then.

You are probably right but for me the desktop in Year of the Linux Desktop has always been one of the several DEs inside the screen.
