to say it's not meant to be a desktop operating system is pretty stupid
Linux is a great operating system but it doesn't have the mainstream driver and software support it needs to actually be useful for day-to-day use.

Certain distros might work well for a netbook, but otherwise Linux should stay on servers where it's stability, security and multi-user architecture really shines.
