The main problem with Linux for the masses isn't program installation. If you have a decent distro with decent packagers & good repos, problems are negligible.

Hardware recognition & drivers is a far bigger issue. Failure of hardware manufacturers to provide linux drivers (or even allow access to specs so others can write them) is the main problem...
