my 16 y.o. has been using Linux since he was 3. He now uses openoffice (90% Linux side) for his H/S courses.
The only limit to his juvenile use was it took many years to get Flash/Shockwave. "Booty Windows" and "Booty Linux" were 2 of his first sentences. At 3.5 he could boot the machine with grub. He was quick to recognize the Blue Screen of Death and he would solemnly hand me a mechanical pencil, "Daddy needs a pencil" as the reset button was recessed on the front panel. I did bullet proof Linux installs for friends who corrupted their very old Windows boxes by going to questionable sites and being too cheap to spring for anti virus S/W. I really don't get why people call it hard. Most folks are happy to surf with ff, email with tb, and write/read letters with oo. ... and they don't need continuous virus and malware scans.

I hesitate to add to this at all. I'm sure it will be misinterpreted. For the masses, Linux is useless on the desktop.
