Actually, there is a reason to switch to Linux on the desktop environment, to be less prone to viruses, malware, spyware, blue screens of death, weird quirks that Microsoft can't or wont work out, free or really cheap... People just don't understand that there is another alternative to Windows, but they are not shown that. What needs to happen is Linux needs to do some advertising on TV, internet, maybe radio, etc that there is an alternative just like Mac did with advertising to show that Mac is available. People don't switch to Linux because they don't know that Linux is out there and available and a viable solution.

People have invested thousands of hours learning Windows, they're not going to bother to learn another OS. For Linux desktop to thrive, there's going to have to be a reason to switch. For servers, there's a reason. Performance, Reliability and price. For desktops, there is no reason to switch.
