In my entire social and family circle that comprises hundreds of people, I can count with one hand the number of people who are even close to proficient enough with a computer to be assured of a decent experience with *nix systems, (excluding macOS, naturally).

My litmus test is “will you be comfortable with opening a terminal and typing in a bunch of text commands?”

If not, I’d only recommend Windows or macOS. I don’t want to play tech support for hours to my parents or granny or my in-laws at 11pm on Saturday night guiding them to through a tutorial to fix their borked computer because they “accidentally clicked something but they can’t remember what and now it doesn’t load facebook”.
