I know there are few such distros but I think that there are so many diverse options in linux desktop that may be non-programmers get confused as to which one to use.

The main reason that most desktop and laptop PCs are Windows based is
because most users don't care what the OS is, they just buy a machine
and use it.  Since stores generally only sell Windows or Mac based
machines the typical user does not get a Linux option at all.
