I got an Macbook Pro when they first came out and my sister half-jokingly said she disowned me; now she couldn't survive without her own macbook and iPhone. I'm not sure what you use, but I think Ubuntu would be a decent choice for a linux-based consumer OS. The only reason I wouldn't install it on my parents desktop is because they are so set in their ways. Also, I've been following Haiku which seems like an interesting project with the goal of an easy to use, simple to learn OS. Who knows, maybe 2013 will be the year of linux on the desktop!
