"Well it seams to me that this is the main problem, that developers of Linux and other open source OSes. And "We need _equivalents_ of _popular_ applications on a Ubuntu PC" Does not seam to have solved the problem."

Well porting proprietary products to Linux would defeat the point of Linux. I don't see your point.

"what happens if i the program I want to use don't exist in the apt-library?
Than the Linux way is alot harder to understand."

Yep. It has to be in apt, or they can't install it.

"My mother for an example does not know how to use Windows, but she would chose Windows because of it's user friendly way of learning. It is essayer to learn Windows she think."

She would chose what a technical person, or the shop recommends to her. Or what was available.
"Windows being easier to learn" is an opinion, an opinion I disagree with. Compare Windows, with its cacophony of menus, with Gnome.

Windows has a lot of strangeness. "Start" being used to shutdown the pc? Marvellous.
