Could be that I've been using Linux on the desktop for a long time and so I've gotten used to things, but I don't relate at all with the "desktop Linux is in a terrible state" statement. It works great for me, it's super functional, it's doesn't get in my way. Guess it's not for everyone (like everything), but on the other hand I'm pretty sure my mom would do perfectly fine with just surfing the internet, which is anyway what most people do nowadays. I feel it just took Linux too long, and frankly people have no reason to change, but it really isn't bad at all. Often helping my friends maintaining a virus/bloat/bug free environment on their Windows or Mac machines seems way more complicated.
