Not really that way... lots of people still don't know what's Linux is or
even how to install it. As you may know, knowing how to install hardwares
doesn't mean you can easily learn other OS, things are getting easier right
now like the capability of the device to do Plug N Play, etc. if USB would
be used by everyone, how much better would it be?
Understanding and working with Linux takes time and some bits of patience
when one is an avid user of Windows, well... I find it worth because Linux
is also going popular and it's considered one of the standard server OS for
the Internet.
