If you maintain the same thing for any user attempting to pick up ANY new OS, I'll give it to you. Otherwise, your theory doesn't really hold water if you're singling out Linux. Suggesting that learning Linux requires special considerations that are not required for picking up Windows or OSX for the first time doesn't really make sense.
Would you recommend someone "educate" themselves on iOS before buying their first iPhone? Or take a course on Android before getting their first Android tablet or phone? The first step in becoming proficient with any user interface has always been "just start using it."
