As someone who likes reading, and viewing, tech related subjects, I've started to see mainstream people actually saying that some Linux are real options for the casual user and for some professional ones.
It seems that distros like Linux Mint, and Ubuntu, have become more than polished enough to used as the daily OS for a wider set of users. As a user of Linux Mint on my personal laptop, I couldn't agree more.
I'm on an unique position, since I use Windows at work and Linux Mint on my laptop. While the user experience is not exactly the same on both OSes,to be honest my experience on Linux Mint hasn't have anything to ask for to the Windows one. To be honest, in most cases it has been better.
For the casual user, there no real reason not to move to Linux Mint. Even some more advance users would feel right at home using it, specially since nowadays the ones who wouldn't be able to make the move are becoming more the ones who need specific apps that have no analog on the Linux side. And whit each passing day, those apps are becoming fewer and harder to find.
On the hardware side, vendors like System79 are making systems not only have great specs, but that look great too. Dell are also making some great systems. As a matter of fact, most systems made by mainstream vendors is likely to support the most popular Linux distros out there. The ones that not, are becoming more of the exeption than the rule.
Finally Linux has become a real option not only for the geek, or tech savvy. It's finally an option for everyone's computing needs.
