It's occurred to me that businesses are likely to have better experiences with fleets of Linux desktops than individuals do with their own machines.
Configuration management is ubiquitous on Linux servers now, and it seems most of the problems with personal Linux desktops are related to manual tweaking around configs and drivers.
If only a small contingent of experts needs to deal with that manual tweaking, and then they encapsulate it in Puppet modules and automated provisioning processes, end-users could have an OSX-like smooth experience.
