That’s a great point. I wonder if people would buy it and use it without really noticing or if they would be upset because it’s not windows or whatever.
There will be different amounts of friction depending on the customer and what they expect. If all they need is Chrome and like one or two other Electron apps, as long as they're walked through the software center on first boot, quickly. But there will be friction when one odd customer here or there expects program X and it's not available, even if there's a very viable alternative. They'd have to educate their customers through marketing like Apple does to ease that transition, and Apple still only has a single digit percentage of the PC market.
