Desktop Linux, right now, is better than it’s ever been.

Kinda like saying that "the Yugo, right now, is better than it's ever been."

Linux for servers? Sure. On the desktop? Less sure.

Linux Mint 18.1 is a decently user-friendly distribution.

I’ve been using it on a partition on my laptop since a few weeks after it was released, and I quite like it. Even my wife is choosing to use it.

We can both boot Windows 10 when needed on our systems.

Or as we used to be told by manufacturing in sales meetings when complaining about product lead times, "Well, at least our competitors' lead times are worse than ours."

We call that 'slim consolation.'

Yep. I’ll believe these Linux articles when they don’t come from a disciple.
