Sounds nice and I wish it was like that, but people who are not into tech won't get those messages and wouldn't care as for them it's "it's turning on, I don't need to do all that". Remember there's people out there that do not understand computers in the slightest, and it's just not there thing, have to much going on, or some other reason.

Plus Linux is far from "I just turn it on and it works" kinda person friendly.

Sadly, it's the part of keeping it working for the periodic 5 minutes after that that is also a hurdle.
