For most people, they are not going to use Linux because A: There is no

plug and play applications.

That's ridiculous. Unless you are gaming you don't need Windows. If
you're not editing video you don't need a Mac. For what most people do
on a computer (surf, mail, spreadsheets, word processing, photo editing,
media recording and playback, etc.) Linux does it faster, better and
100% cheaper.
