Linux has still got a long way to go before its user friendly enough to be usable "out of the box" for the average user for anything apart from fairly simple stuff.
Its fine for a laptop where you are just going to be browsing, maybe want to skype the parents when you are on holiday ....
BUT
when you do an install and it wont run your twin monitor graphics setup without crashing immediately its not good enough. Thats been working on windows for well over 10 years. (Major distros with assorted desktop environments all fall over in exactly the same way.... Its not some cheap graphics card either - its a decent brand.)
