@metaphase @GossiTheDog I'm an IT guy so I may be biased, but I think Linux desktop distros have passed the point needing to be a techie to use. I find Debian/Gnome to be both intuitive for Windows users and far easier to install and update than Windows. I firmly believe starting with Windows 8, Microsoft basically ripped off Gnome's UI.

Now, getting enterprise productivity software to run or, if you're a home user, games? That's the biggest hurdle.
