Conversely it would be nice if these purported alternatives were friendlier to nontechnical users. I’m in the process of switching and I’d have given up after the first week if I weren’t sleeping with someone who can help me through the never-ending stream of annoyances and outright breakages.
If I lived alone, or if I lived with someone non-technical, I’d not be using Linux. Because the Linux community holds non-technical users in deep contempt still, after all these years.

I’m not sure how to solve that. The people making it aren’t recompensed, so there’s no way to persuade them to take end users more seriously. I think in another 25 years it will be “The Year of Linux on the Desktop” for 25 more times.
