Well for what it's worth, I've been a Unix user for about 21 years and a Linux user for about 17, and even I can't understand how people use it as a desktop OS. I am a software developer and spend almost all of my time on a computer either visiting web sites (hello, mameworld.info!) or writing software with a command prompt and emacs.
Even with my expertise in using Linux I find doing 'advanced' things (like setting up printers and having them work consistently and correctly!) often difficult, and I stay within a fairly tightly constrained environment on my Linux machine almost all of the time. I have been using the same window manager (hello highly customized twm!) for about 20 years now and I use Linux because it works so well for what I do, mostly because what I do is so Unix-y to begin with.
But if I had to recommend a destop operating system to anyone, it certainly would not be Unix based. I think I'd suggest Mac OS X because of its superior internal architecture and especially security when compared with Microsoft Windows. I would have no problem with Windows if only it wasn't so ridiculously insecure. It does not strike me as a well architected system, although it certainly has huge support from every peripheral and software developer going.
