I think it'd be a hard sell. You'd need to find some real, concrete pain points that people suffer from, and then address them, and then market it towards people suffering from those issues.

I'm a desktop Linux user (Mint), and I find it to be quite developer-friendly, and it has a nice UI, and Debian has the best package management. So, personally, I'm not sold yet. :-)

Thanks :) I know I'll be burned for this but, my thought was to make it more Mac OSX-like. With a similar File Hierarchy (the Unix one seems over-complicated for its use).

A nice UI (similar to Unity), a for-profit app store, and drop support for 32-bit, and every other platform, except 64-bit and ARM, I hate so much backwards-compatibility like being able to run DOS on Windows 8 - I mean really?

I had a bunch of other ideas too, but these are all mainly behind-the-scenes work, no "concrete pain points" unfortunately I think.
