From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The question is more: What is the "average" desktop user?
E.g. average developer I know use Linux as daily driver. Some writers/authors too.
Such articles are always written as if the writer knows and if he understands what he writes about, but especially with this one you can see quite well that there is a lot of subjective, poorly researched opinion behind it.
