Average joe barely understands windows (if at all).
I mean I'm MORE than happy to say...switch my Uncle to linux (assuming this is your 'everyone just use linux' reply).
BUT only if you are willing to teach him it, how to use it, how to call internet/netflix/etc support that 90% of its tech support is windows centric for customer help.
I'm not anti linux. But anti teaching my barely tech savvy family as it is, how to use and support linux 'on their own' when after 10 years of using windows they have learned enough to only know "if its not on the desktop, the file is gone" and think deleting a shortcut on the desktop uninstalled the program.
When average joe calls me asking things like "how do I find my downloaded file" and "My internet isnt working, I clicked the wifi logo thing you showed me in the bottom right and it says disconnected when I try". Then they call their ISP and annoy them with having to painfully walk them thru how to find windows control panel, and wifi settings in windows to realize its not enabled...because come to find out they hit the 'wifi button' on the laptop that turns the wifi hardware off.
Average Joe is not as ready to move to linux as you think.
