>Do you think Linux's general usability (i.e., not for you specifically, but for the average computer user) is on par with other OSes?

Yes. It is orders of magnitude more usable than Windows 10 at least, which is awful. I haven't used OSX in a few years, but there were always some annoyances about maximizing windows, having to jump through hoops to install programs from the internet, or having to restart after updates.

I would very much like to see a user study of new computer users trying out Ubuntu, Windows 10, and Mac OS for the first time.
