Hurdle #1
There are no games for linux in the "big box store".

People (where I live anyway, I live in Sweden) use computers for a couple of things... (don't
know if the order is correct)

1. play games
2. download stuff from the net 
3. surf the net (reading email, websites, paying bills)
4. chat, blog, exchange info with other people

The other hurdles are all valid in a way but my mom would have difficulties installing a
driver in windows. But most people don't do that...

I do believe that we need to help the developers by using FOSS software and provide feedback
or help fix the problems/new features we want.

So if Ubuntu is not working right, pitch in if you can... If you can't fill in the bugreport
if it pops up.

Or even point out (specifically) what is wrong so that we can try to fix it...

My 2 cents...
