I do not believe that a Linux based desktop is any harder for the average person to use. I have been messing with family and friends for years (my Dad's laptop dual booted and he really had no idea which operating system he was using). I really did mean that desktop Linux for the regular user has been here for 10 years.The ugly truth is that Linux will likely always be a niche on the desktop workstation. As I see it, going forward iOS and Android (and maybe Windows mobile) will be what most consumers use, while the "power users" will likely still gravitate towards a more traditional OS.
Can someone explain what is supposed to be the "hard part" of using a Linux desktop? I use Xterms in a 2x5 array of virtual desktops for development and testing. My son has 98% used just the applications menu and a few panel buttons since he was 4 but with the same basic desktop config. Out to lunch? Chris
