See my previous posts about my own personal "experiences" with Ubuntu and linux in general. Lots of people on this list have had nothing but success with Linux, but I've always had some issues ( like wireless never working ). I'm sure it's been improved by now as this was back on version 8. I think Windows is a the safer choice for the non-tech, as there's lots of other people who know how to fix Windows or make it work. Finding a real Linux guru is not that easy for the average non-techie person. Heck, it's not even supported at Geek Squad or other places that serve to help the non-tech crowd.
