Not to mention the average user can't spell Linux let alone operate it.

I disagree. Linux isn't for your average user yes, but the gui's aren't clunky. Gnome is simple, add a dock and it looks like OSX. KDE looks like a standard windows setup, not sure who would have trouble navigating that.

And agreed, Linux is a pain on most laptops (damn wireless drivers!). Though there are some versions built for netbooks that are actually pretty nice and work out of the box. Plus, with the newest ubuntu supporting ipod/iphone support out of the box, i'd say the casual user could use it without too much fuss.
