Nope, it isn’t, because it’s desktop environment has the worst backwards compatibility in the business.

I do like the Linux sucks videos. However my most recent convert declared that as a long term Mac user he is impressed the most with the gnome desktop experience. He's smitten by it and is diving in, learning all the shortcut keyc etc etc. Everyone has their own opinions but when I see a guy like this (photographer, Mac user, lower tech skill) dive in so easily I can say the Linux desktop is now at a point most any person can get started easily.

the problem isn't that, its about long term support of software. linux has alot of catching up to do before the userspace is stable enough to develop once, without ever needing a future update
