I've been using Linux on the desktop for more than twenty years, and there are people who have been using it for longer than that. So if this isn't an old article, it's factually incorrect.

Twenty years ago, I had an epiphany: Linux was ready for the desktop.

Please read articles before posting; this is literally the first sentence. The article is about the author's 20 years of Linux desktop usage.
