My parents have been using Xubuntu for about the last 8 years or so. Once I told them that it looks and works like Windows (at least from the UI perspective), and here's Firefox, Thunderbird, solitaire, and how to turn it off, they were good. No huge problems since.

We've reached the point that for common users, the OS doesn't matter anymore. Browser, video player, image viewer, word processor... BOOM! Done! I think this is why there' such a push toward cloud-based subscription services because OSes (a decade from now?) will be the modern equivalent of a locked-down dumb terminal. It's part of the reason, I'm convinced, that Microsoft went Chromium. Even the browser doesn't matter. It's just a face... a front-end to a search engine, subscriber-based online apps and targeted tracking.
