For the love of Bob, please help Linux and open-source applications get better.
The KDE organization has a usability project you can contribute to. So does the GNOME project.
If you’re interested in making open source software easier to use, start with the two GNU/Linux desktop vendors. Or start here.
If open source software and GNU/Linux are ever going to win hearts and minds, they have to stop focusing on the hobbyists and the already-converted. I doubt that any of our mothers and fathers want to stop/start X servers, or log in at different runlevels.
