The year of the Linux Desktop for me was 2004... It doesn't arrive at the same point in time for everybody, but the NSA had very little to do with it arriving for me.

The NSA does not hold control over the purchasing decisions made in countless governments and companies all over the world, for that to be a legitimate worry you'd have to show that in America linux was used substantially less where it should have been used compared to other countries. I doubt you could make that case convincingly.
