What are you afraid she is going to have to learn? Where the apps are? You have to do that with a new Windows install. I find people vastly overestimate the complexity of Linux. The UIs have VASTLY improved. I go to the terminal when I want to, not because I’ve been forced there. Thanks to Steam and their Proton layer, gaming hasn’t been an issue. I think there are too many Linux users out there worried they’ll lose their wizard status if everyone finds out how much easier Linux is vs how it used to be. Or how most perceive it to be.
I’m a Windows Server admin by trade and have been daily driving Linux at home for almost two years now. I am VERY familiar with the Windows UI, and yes more technical than the average person. Linux on the desktop has been very easy. More people should be giving it a shot as Microsoft makes us jump through hoops to do what we want.
