Using exclusively Linux on the desktop has been possible since 1997, when I switched to being mostly a linux user — what people mean by "getting closer" is that it's much closer than it used to be to being completely automatic, requiring no effort or thought whatsoever. Obviously it will never quite get there; that is not a destination that exists in the real world.
