It's become clear to me that you've not tried desktop Linux (at least not in the last two or three years). So your arguments have been uninformed, at least with respect to the original question, which was, "would migrating a Windows user over to Linux be a huge disaster?"
I've done that, a number of times, over several years, and with uniformly positive results. You have not attempted that, apparently, and therefore must merely guess at the outcome.
It's alright to be philosophically (or even politically) opposed to open-source desktops. But that doesn't equate to practical fingers-to-keyboard difficulties that a new user may encounter. As I see it, that was the question on the floor, and, so far, I'm the only one who has addressed it.
