As a linux desktop user of 25+ years, i can tell you, *using* #Linux is pretty easy for most things. *Installing* Linux can be intimidating.

Buy your nerdiest friend a beer or 3 and have them install it for you. Or buy a machine with Linux preinstalled.

You shouldn't need to be a mechanic to drive a car, computers are the same. Normal people changing engines should be avoided.
