The big bottleneck for mass Linux adoption is that most of the mavens (tech nerds and early adopters) are Mac users. And since Mac is BSD-based, a lot of the draw of Linux (customizations, scripts, programming, etc.) is gone. I find almost no reason to switch from a Mac to Linux. It's actually a lot easier to use Mac to develop for work (Rails) because I know every Mac has the same standard configurations and I do not need to make a configuration script to give to all the new kids.
