Your opinion about Linux is entirely correct, but about 10-15 years out of date.
Seriously, a modern user-friendly Linux distro lets you do everything an average user needs by clicking friendly buttons, including gaming.
The main thing keeping people off Linux today is that you have to install a new OS in the first place, and then are immediately faced with the choice which one, without knowing the differences.
I have 6 machines running Linux. I don’t think my opinion is out of date at all.
Then I'm pretty sure you vastly overestimate what the average computer user does on their PC.
