Fair point, but I've run *buntu on various laptops (old and new) and desktop(s) my son and I constructed from stuff chosen from pcpartpicker.com not 3 months ago.
If comments on HN are anything to go by, linux on the desktop is perfect and easily usable by any office worker.
I'm sure if you walk up to Susan in accounting, handed her an arch install usb, she'll have tmux and neovim up and configured by lunch!
In all seriousness though. I'm not sure a lot of HN commenters (probably myself included) have any actual perspective on how a normal person wants to interact with their computers, or what business need from desktop endpoints.
The fact that anyone things that editing source is a good way to configure a window manager (dwm) is mind boggling.
"It's just worked". Every time.
