using a proper operating system (GNU/Linux) is an excellent low-hanging fruit
I wouldn’t exactly call it “low-hanging”. I think you overestimate both the capabilities of normal people and their needs.
Yes, but I’d guess that many of the people who read this post and UnrequitedHope’s comment aren’t “normal” in the relevant sense.
However I think that the subset of grown-ups who would grok Unix well AND haven’t tried it yet is pretty small nowadays.
I agree that for people just starting to figure out the whole computing thing, trying Unix is very worthwhile, though.
Good point.
