Re: [Trisquel-users] How to spread computing freedom?

For the average Joe that only needs to check email, edit some documents and  
watch YouTube you could also help them towards web applications instead of  
locally installed versions. If everything they do is through a browser any  
way, the underlying operating system would be unimportant.

Obviously that wouldn't work for everyone. In my experience Mint and  
Elementary seem to be good "starter" GNU/Linux distros that don't need people  
to venture into the terminal very often. :)
