I don’t disagree with the bit about general users… but I don’t know that Windows handles idiots all that much better, based on how it’s handled me (an idiot).
Sometimes issues come up in an OS which require some intensive searching or a help desk (H4B grrr). Although I haven’t had to reinstall Win anytime in the last like 15 years or more.
I think software availability plays significantly in terms of viability of Linux for desktop.
The general populace are nowhere near at competent as you’re making them out to be, 99% of the time.
3% desktop marketshare. Linux won’t be seen as a viable solution until it is capable of handling an idiot half as well as Windows.
