We have all heard the horror stories of how GNU/Linux is difficult, if not almost impossible, as far as general desktop usability is concerned. In particular, there seems to be a continuous stream of gripes printed across the Internet, from Microsoft Windows users who wish, or have tried, to migrate to GNU/Linux, yet gave up in frustration. But what happens when complete computer newbies are introduced to GNU/Linux? By computer newbies, I am referring to those who have no computer experience whatsoever, in either a Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix or other environment.

Then use Linux without FSF/GNU software and see how far you get. Show the man a little respect, without him there would be no Linux.
This has nothing to do with it. Is the OS just the kernel? In my opinion yes. Other people say no. So, if you believe that your applications and programs running are part of the OS you say GNU/Linux. If someone is not of that opinion they will probably just say Linux. However it is strange that we don't see people say Adobe/Windows even though they may be running mostly Adobe software?
