if we want linux to be used as a normal OS, we need to treat it like a normal OS

i have been using linux for around a year, and i started thinking about why do people prefer windows or mac over linux. the main reason i found was the need to learn to start using it. the average person doesn't want to learn about how computers work, or worry about what they download. a friend of mine had permission issues with windows, and he couldn't even understand what did i mean by "permission", since he thought the accounts were just names that look cool at the start. i think that if we as a community want to make linux into an OS that can be used by anyone, we should start treating beginners differently. instead of preaching about how good linux is, and how computers work, we should start showing them that linux is just like windows, and that they don't need to spend years to learn how to use it.
