Linux works great for the highly technical and the tech-ignorant.

However, the "ordinary users" among today's young people grew up with tech, and expect more advanced functionality. Advanced functionality that, on Linux, requires advanced knowledge because of how fragmented and rough it is.

If the term 'ordinary users' implies users who use specialized commercial software, then yes, Linux does not have it all yet. It's a reality we all know but it's changing gradually, fortunately.

One doesn't have to switch to Linux to know that it's disruptive tech. It's gaining traction each year and only becoming a better product, whether one likes it or not.
