The only real options for the average user are Mac or Windows. Linux just isn't as user friendly, and a lot of the customization and flexibility of Linux is actually a determinant for non technical people.
I'm a technical person and I can't stand Linux as a main driver. Love it for development and as a server, but it can be very janky for UI things.
