The general populace are nowhere near at competent as you're making them out to be, 99% of the time.
3% desktop marketshare. Linux won't be seen as a viable solution until it is capable of handling an idiot half as well as Windows.
I don't disagree with the bit about general users... but I don't know that Windows handles idiots all that much better, based on how it's handled me (an idiot).
Sometimes issues come up in an OS which require some intensive searching or a help desk (H4B grrr). Although I haven't had to reinstall Win anytime in the last like 15 years or more.
I think software availability plays significantly in terms of viability of Linux for desktop.
Windows is still a middle ground of functionality and user safety. Better for corporate tasks than a Mac, better for gaming than both, and benefits from massive marketshare making their systems better knows though osmosis, superusers still know their way around windows as well as any knows theirs around Linux.
Developers aren't going to go after a 3% desktop market share of Linux users so most software development is still Windows and .net based in the corpo and developer spaces.
Linux as a desktop OS lacks both usability and compatability still. I don't have to emulate shit in windows to do anything. No wine, no Proton, nothing. A normal user never has to touch a console in windows. Until you can go the lifetime of a PC for a regular user not needing the console then Linux will not be as viable as Windows for 'regular' users.
