Speaking from experience, from a long time ago, and from the people/family I've installed it for on older machines: It's different. That's 90% of it.

The people that had little to no windows/PC experience actually took to Linux a lot easier not having to relearn/change habits from windows.

Correct. It's lack of familiarity. Once Linux gets around 10-15% market share, enough people who know the quirks of Linux to help new people who then Linux will be big.
