"It would seem Linux users can't catch a break. Every year, blow-hard journalists will try out a Linux LiveCD, decide it's actually worthwhile, and declare date +%Y to be the year of Linux on the Desktop, only to run around screaming about how Linux isn't ready for mainstream users after they manage to screw their system over while fiddling with sudo.
