Linux is not for average software consumer, you have to know how computer works in order to use it. The simple fact that linux lacks MS Word/Excel, Photoshop is already hints that something is off.
Linux is just a kernel and then from 2% marketshare you go down for marketshare of each distribution you want to develop your software for and try to sell to consumers who asks why your code is not GPL, why I can't modify it on my own.
I've tried gaming on linux and can't describe how bad my experience was even on popular titles like CS:GO, where you have lower FPS and glitches with graphic settings, like not able to play stretched resolution sometime and then some update literally broke a game for a while. You have to jump loops all the time to just make programs run and the issue here is that, as a linux user, you expected to do it and it's just normal, when on Mac/Windows the user expected to just know nothing and all issues got fixed by software vendor.
Just try to install firefox on linux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion (you have to find this page as well), show that screen to average computer user and see what happens.
