I think you may be thinking of Desktop Linux from fifteen to twenty years ago. Now you just download a Linux iso image, burn it to a CD or USB thumb drive, and you can install a fully functional Linux desktop (with all applications, codecs, drivers Flash, etc), completely installed and upgraded in about 35 minutes. And, if you pick something like Linux Mint, desktop users won't even hardly know it's not Windows, except the icons will look different.
