That's missing the point of Linux entirely. Your average end user isn't using Linux as their day-to-day desktop environment as it requires some skill to maintain. They are using Windows/OSX because they don't have to focus on the platform and are able to carry on with their workflow applications, needing minimal back end maintenance. On the flip side, many sysadmins will not run back end operations on a Windows box as you simply don't have the same level of control, configurability, and customization that you can achieve with a properly set up Linux solution. And calling any OS requiring knowledge to operate and maintain garbage is downright ignorant, as this entire thread and article proves otherwise.
