This is it exactly. For a typical new user the things that make them bounce are, in order: The difficulty of writing a bootable USB stick and partitioning their drive for installation. Hardware support, mouse/keyboard, video, wifi, audio, and webcam being most important for most people. A familiar feeling desktop environment. An easy to use package installer GUI The whole discussion of things like immutable, deb, rpm, systemd, Wayland vs x11, etc are somewhere between meaningless and a scary sounding distraction for normal people who are fed up with MS/Apple and thinkng about trying something else.
