  1. @abigpony Fair enough, I will admit that Linux used to be crap for the average user (though not for the more technical user) though, due to the newer desktop environments we have like Unity, GNOME3 and KDE4, it has become quite beginner-friendly as well. If someone isn't used to Windows yet, I'm sure that it'll be easier for them to get started with something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint than with Windows. Perhaps you should at least give Ubuntu a try once using Wubi, a live CD or a Virtual Machine, you'll see that Linux isn't the geek-only extremely-technical environment it used to be anymore.
