Also in defense of end users, they are forced to use whatever OS their IT department provides.
The few users that would prefer Linux for instance, aren't allowed to use it because it deviates from the company standard and makes things harder to maintain (security, backup, and so on).
Same with Austria. As a Dane living in Austria, it feels like nobody here has even half-decent English skills. It's horrible, and I blame generations of dubbed TV and movies.
No offense, but this question is what is holding many people back that would otherwise be on the fence or ready to go.
If there were just Mac / Windows / Linux, it would be an easy sell.
But we have Mac / Windows / two million Linux flavors.
It does not matter which one you pick, it is bound to cause questions or issues. And once you've chosen a Linux flavor, someone asks you why you chose that desktop and not foobar9000 instead which everyone knows runs much better on your Linux flavor anyway.
I honestly think that Linux' biggest enemy is Linux. Sure, choice is good, but this is too much. Way too much.

These days, shit is the only thing for the US can be counted on.
