Linux desktops will never be for normies because desktops are not for normies and are dwarfed by mobile devices and have been for a while now.

Many, Many people use only mobile devices and the ones under 40 who still have computers have them for work.

Well, the article was about work.

Mobile devices may be well-suited for chatting and general entertainment but I seriously doubt that many people could do effective work - more than a couple quick changes - with the mobile versions of Word or Excel.
