As soon as a distro has a control panel equivalent that has stuff like a driver manager and event log it's all over

You might be surprised to learn that multiple distros have control panel equivalent of driver managers and event logs.

People without much OS knowledge use windows because that's what's installed on the PC when they buy it. If best buy sold a PC with a just works distro installed they'd use it and not really know or care

I know Ubuntu has had that for a while, which means that others probably have as well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
