You dont even have to deal with deb packages nowadays. There is a convinient gui application for software installation and updating.

I know, I'm typing this from an Ubuntu machine as we speak, so I know what you mean, but it's not always that simple. That "not always" is what I think really holds Linux back from becoming mainstream.

Im a linux user too, in my experience for the software that is required for everyday use you dont even need to touch the terminal or fiddle with .deb files .

You're right, I guess most people wouldn't need to touch the terminal, they'll probably install OpenOffice and Google Chrome and call it a day. I like to fiddle and tweak, so I guess my view is kind of skewed on that.
