Linux isn't a product, is where the misunderstanding seems to be. Linux is free and gives you control and with that control comes the responsibility of setting things up the way you want.

That mndset is why it will never have a large audience.

It doesn't need a large audience. It's for free. What's needed are developers, not users. And, imho, it's already attractive enough for that niche. I don't need Windows. I don't even need wine.

For the general populace, it's not an answer, especially when other vendors are doing it, and having wild success.

Customer installs Linux on their convertible, converts it to a tablet, isn't given a tablet interface, as is the customer expectation. Calls it trash, goes back to windows.

We have seen this happen. When W 10 first launched, desktop Linux reached nearly 5%, today, it's back to barely 2%. I'm not saying it's the scenario I outlines above exactly. But all those users hit something that drove them back.
