The promise of Desktop Linux (DL) has been long coming. It's made significant progress since the mid-90s when GNOME and KDE came out, giving Linux users a somewhat modern desktop to work upon. However, it's been 7 years and DL hasn't progressed much at all since then. Today, DL is still nothing more than a UNIX-clone with a task bar, a start menu, and a desktop with some icons on it. But why has DL evolved at such a glacial pace?

Here we go with another "Linux desktop" article. Can someone tell me what changed from yesterday? Oh nothing, so why the "news" item? Actually it's not news, it's propagandha hype. Can we end all those "ready for desktop" articles please.
What will make Linux ready is switching to some other kernel and building a complete system and not just a kernel. Yes some would say distros, but that's not solving anything. Linux has to become an operating system, not just a kernel, which is why all these articles are bogus to begin with.
