Setting the user in front of a Linux box...

The only way to really do that fairly is for someone else to configure the theme and desktop environment in a similar layout, first (so, yes, I agree with you entirely, but with qualifications).

So, for ten minutes of theme-tweaking (to roughly match whatever they are accustomed to in the layout of their current OS) you would get a comparison that is more realistic. The rub is, however, that different operating systems are _different_ because...well, because they are not the same operating systems. :-) I wish folks could get that through their heads in the fandom and media world.
