> Linux is not an OS for the average user, it's for tech savvy geeks and an extremely small subset of those people too.

I recently installed Linux Mint and Windows 10. Linux was faster and easier to install, and has a friendlier UI. Have you seen the Windows start menu recently? It's cluttered with crap: I couldn't figure out how to do basic things with it, even searching was hard. You might do everything through the command line, but that's not the only way, the GUI does work.

Software's a different story, though a lot of things are online these days.
