From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've not been around windows users for a while, but last time I checked my mom was very lost when she had to start an app which hasn't an icon on her desktop.
More generally I heard that in general having to rely on a tutorial means bad design, which seems reasonable.
Of course it's hard to estimate how new user will react without proper testing, I'll trust the Gnome team who proved to be good at their job 🙂
