In my opinion, the biggest problem with Linux is it requires tinkering in terminal which nearly every non-tech savvy person finds intimidating. Even if it's a simple command. Until Linux has a shiny dumbed-down GUI for everything you need to do, it won't catch on for the average PC user.
Linux has made incredible progress in this area though. But, everytime I use a new Linux install, I encounter errors or something that requires troubleshooting and terminal use.
There's still no way to log into Nautilus as root user from Nautilus.
So you can't just double click on an icon to decompress it below the home folder.
And then people will give out this long series of terminal commands....hello, I said FROM NAUTILUS.
I'm actually quite okay with using the terminal, the problem is almost nothing invoked from the CLI actually works properly. If the programmer can't be arsed making a skin, they generally can't be arsed with proper playtesting either.
