A stock Fedora install has more UI consistency and cleanliness than Windows these days.

Non-technical people are easier to please in this regard than moderate-technical people: a good browser and safe, gui "app store" are enough.

I was completely (well, mostly) serious, too. I think technical people tend to downplay friction because it doesn't really register to them, or they have too much faith in the average person's computer skills.

The average non-technical person is going to be stumped by the first "lock file found, cannot upgrade" error.
