Well should we consider device specific issues? First of all thoose device manufacturers never made it for linux and when a new device comes in, its likely broken.
What I would say linux can easily replace windows is when a working linux install(i.e. when its running in a fully compatible device), can do all computing needs. And I think linux actually does that.
I know you wouldn't buy a new device for linux but even windows when you manually install in a device requires much setup and driver installs to get working well. But in the windows side, drivers are always availiable unlike in linux where community needs to reverse engineer and make the drivers themselves, which is always late than windows.
