I see your point.
But if Linux wants to be accepted then it needs to work without the user ever needing to know anything about a path or a root! People don't want to learn how to do all that stuff just use the machine.
I don't expect to have to learn how to programme the guts of a microwave oven to use one, I just want to chuck my pasta in there, press the button for 5 minutes and scoff my dinner a few minutes later!
If you could buy a linux pc and use all your communications aps, photos and music with complete ease, go to the download websites and just download them without worrying (have the installation process detect the operating system so the poor 'normal' doesn't have to worry if her operating system is Word or Internet Explorer or Windows
! - ps I know the first 2 aren't OS - a lot of people don't - just clarifying if you just jumped in to this post here!), share stuff with all your Windows mates without worrying, then great - I'll buy one, but it doesn't work like that!
