InformationWeek is speculating on how Linux will change in the next four years. "By 2012 the OS will have matured into three basic usage models. Web-based apps rule, virtualization is a breeze, and command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past."

Following the emergence of Enlightenment DR17, KDE and Gnome merge and Knome 5 is released by the joint effort. It's main feature is the ability to use applications from within Duke Nukem Forever which was only released on Linux and WINE after Microsoft EOL DX9 in a botched effort to make 3D Realms rewrite DNF for Windows 7. Sport as we know it has ended as people take to chewing bubble gum in DNF - which is the first game to become an olympic sport and replaces the 110m hurdles for London 2012. Whilst playing DNF, players can take advantage of the advanced Kome 5 integration to airbrush onrushing aliens using KNIMP 5, giving each user a personalized DNF experience, whilst simultaneously chatting on KnomeChat. (As part of the Gnome merger, it was agreed all application names would start with 'Kn'.)
2012, finally the year of the Linux Desktop.
