I'm typing this up from my primary Linux system. Beside me, my laptop
also runs Linux. I use these computers for basically everything -
coding, testing, work, gaming, the lot. Just finished playing an
episode of The Walking Dead, streamed to Twitch.tv; yes, that game
wasn't released for Linux, but thanks to Wine, I can run the Windows
version, and it's flawless.

It's the year of the Linux desktop alright. Has been for some time,
gonna still be for a while yet.
