I just want to know how much easier it has become over the years for a total newbie to accept a GNU/Linux desktop, as opposed to the familiar Microsoft one.
Until PCs come with linux preinstalled, there will always be a barrier to cross. Installation of any operating system is tough. Most windows users have never installed windows in their lives and probably never will.
If faced with a preinstalled, preconfigured linux desktop, I do not think that there would be trouble except for the usual getting used to that has to be done when switching from one system to another. This is true of all systems, not just computers.
I too am interested in knowing what the newbie has to say.
