Is Linux really suitable for developing countries like Nepal?

Linux is a free and open source operating system.Many of us are using Windows family of operating systems for many years.And,in developing countries like Nepal,the cost of Windows operating systems are much higher than affordable.Due to these reasons,people are using pirated versions of these operating system.
What could the people possibly do when they get a full-featured operating system which provides as much as same features as Windows provide at the cost of $0 or Rs.0(Rupee is the currency of Nepal)?
Sure,the people will move onto Linux.
But the problem lies on the working stragedy of Linux.It is harder for beginners to install programs in Linux without the fast internet connection and developing countries lacks this facility to a greater scope.
Another option is to develop a Linux  or modify existing one to provide almost all facilities that Windows machine provides out of the box..
Hope people will be encouraged to migrate into Linux.
