You’re answering your own question :)

Well if you installed and set it up by yourself you already are way more advanced than a normal user. But again one easily is blind to that fact.

One easily gets blind of the fact that it takes quite a lot of knowledge of computers to run Linux. You often see stuff that scares the shit out of a regular user.

The problem is the experience is not customized for a person who doesn’t care HOW it works. They just want to do their stuff without hassle.

I’ve tried this a couple of times and mostly I end up being a 24/7 computer fixer hotline and end up installing macOs or windows in the end to make everyone happy

I tried getting my mom on Linux mint. Kinda made me realize it’s not as user friendly as I thought. I would go with windows or macOs if they just want everything to “work”
