Yeah, that's the thing. Two categories of users can properly enjoy Linux (in my opinion):

  • Technically advanced users who can figure out a lot on their own
  • Technically illiterate users ("Show me where to click to get to Facebook")

While average users are the ones to suffer. They are technically picky enough to require more advanced features than "click to open Google", but not nerdy enough to spend hours reading stack overflow to make something they need work.

Most average users will be actively displeased that their settings menu is now different and confusing, office tools have slightly different UI, and some specialized software is missing.

Average user does not spend hours learning GIMP, they blame Linux for not having Photoshop and quit. Sad but true

Honestly, both of those groups would be doing fine using windows, too
