I think the experience with Linux will vary depended on what hardware ones got and what software ones need. No OS fills everyones needs, not even Ubuntu.
If it wasn't for the occasionally regressions I would probably think Linux was boring as well, but it's not. Linux matures gradually on the desktop and laptop. Sometimes suspends works, sometimes 3D works reliable, sometimes wireless works reliable, but not always. There is no joy in pushing an OS to newbies when the OS is not reliable. If you push Linux you better know what in the world you are doing, unfortunately many people don't.
I consider going BSD for the future, or maybe stick with predictable Debian stable.
