My sister uses Linux. She isn't dumb, she managed to learn LaTex for her Biotechnology study, but she knows next to nothing about computers.
So, yes. There are people out there that use Linux (and loving it) who hardly know how to switch a computer on.

Yeah, but did you set it up? Note: If an uber-geek did all the installing/teaching, it doesn't count
I talked her through it. It wasn't any challenge though and she would have been able to do it herself. Not more than insert the XUbunut CD, start and click install.
Installing Windows a few months earlier required my personal attendance, so i guess Linux is easier to install than windows, not to forget getting LaTeX installed was much easier as well.
