We can concede that any platform can have problems despite the fact that we ourselves have not encountered them. If your only measuring stick is the existence of problems as seen on the 'net, you haven't really proven your point that somehow Fedora is for normal people but Windows is not. Maybe it's different for me because I'm from the east coast, but all of the people that I know running Windows at home are certainly normal. My wife, a teacher, is running a Surface Pro 3 which replaced her iPad + laptop. My dad (a retired plumber) runs Windows but my mom has a Macbook Air. Almost all of the college students in my family went with Windows on a laptop or a hybrid. I have Fedora F21 running and it's probably the best performing Linux desktop that I've seen and the most usable (after taking away all of the OS X idioms of course), but unless the only thing you want to do is run Chrome more slowly than you could on Windows, then I wouldn't recommend it for normals (edit: because from what I've seen, it's generally a buggier environment than Windows. Now that could be mostly because I installed a bunch of buggy plugins for Gnome, but I also had hardware issues that Windows did not have).
