=== Installation ===
{{main|Linux}}
The experience of installing a Linux distribution on a desktop computer varies from person to person as well as from distribution to distribution. While a number of ways to use a Desktop Linux distribution exist, the barriers of entry remain high for many speculative users.
== Year of Desktop Linux ==
Since at least 2001, a [[meme]] known as ''(year) will be the year of Linux on the Desktop'' has been published by a number of tech-related magazines, referring to the prior year's experiences of supposed "gains" for [[Linux adoption]] by [[business corporation]]s; these gains can vary in reason, such as the installation of a Linux distribution onto the desktops of workers for organizations or companies who may not be immediately or otherwise involved in the computing industry, or the acceleration of development for specific applications which find their greatest usages on desktop Linux distributions, or the pre-installation of specific Linux distributions onto [[personal computer]]s being sold by PC manufacturers such as [[Dell]], [[Hewlett-Packard]], or other corporations. The meme, which is used on an annual basis, has been roundly criticized as redundant and overreaching.
