Not at all.

My fiancee uses Linux all the time, and I hardly had to explain to her
how to use it.

It's amazing what you can do with the right software.

I'll be the first to admit that Linux doesn't have the application
base that something like Windows has, but that's a far cry from being
"unusable".

Are you kidding?  The kind of "support" you get from PC software
vendors like Microsoft is laughable.  As a system administrator, I'd
rather support the system myself rather than depend on that kind of
"support".

If you really want external support for Linux, you can buy it, you
know.
