Thing is, I'm not my mother-in-law[0], I have a different use case for computing than that strawman does so the suitability of Linux Desktop to that person has no bearing on its suitability to me. [0] I really hate when people use this kind of term. 'Normal people', 'grandma', 'non-technical users', etc. It's inherently drawing an unnecessary us/them line to service an argument and which, I believe, is an attitude that directly contributes to the suckiness of modern desktop computing, particularly as regards Linux.
