it does kinda fit in that if you forced people to learn linux, the basic stuff most people do should in the end not be much more difficult than windows (assuming you don't run into more bugs)

but that would never happen unless a "linux revolution" was already in full swing

People are running in all kinds of bugs with Windows, just look at their forums.

The major difference is that people have been using Windows all their life and they've learned how to circumvent their bugs and hiccup.

Switching to Linux means people will have to learn a new flow and it turns off a lot of people, simply by the fact that they have been using the same OS all their life and can't bother to learn something new.

And that's all fine. But to go in your direction, when more manufacturers will offer 100-120$ off on Linux computers (because you don't pay the Windows license), it will probably boost Linux adoption rate.
