My partner is a little bit technopobic and adopted to Linux 4 years ago. Mint originally as a gentle step and now on Debian KDE. They needed initial set up doing for them eg localisation for Libreoffice. Updates etc are really no different to Windows so they dont need to worry about using the terminal. The challenge for most non-tecchy people will be having someone to hold thier hand with trying and moving to Linux.
