You have all my respect Ian

Linux has a lot going for it but requires a fair learning curve.
Worth noting that Android

(
Android mops floor with Apple, new sales figures show ) is based on Linux. There is a team working on Android for PCs but at this point it is PC specific. I suspect it is only a matter of time before we start seeing Android PCs. An Android interface and the ability to run effectively with Wine (runs Windows software on Linux) would be very interesting.
