These days I don't know if there's much reason why most people are averse, except out of fear of change.
Linux has improved drastically to get where it is now.
Yes you have to learn some different ways of doing things, but the same thing happens every time a new version of Windows comes out, and Microsoft have changed it all yet again.
I get that there's software support issues with certain programs, but not everyone uses specialist software, and I imagine plenty of users who do basic tasks would have no real issue with actually using Linux daily, when all they probably need is a web browser.
