Linux continues to be great as a back-end OS or as a mobile OS. But as a consumer Desktop OS, it won't get attraction for decades to come. Idk what Linux specifically needs to do to become that but until it does, it won't come close to replacing windows for most people.

A more user-friendly approach in general would be a great start. When the solution to almost any problem involves the terminal, something's wrong from a user experience perspective. Often, it seems user experience isn't too high on the list even with some graphical software. Linux is a great operating system but there's not very much focus on attracting new users. Oh, and better software support and some marketing would also be quite helpful.
