Sure, it helps to be tech savvy when installing any operating system. I'm not sure that I'd agree that most of us enjoy troubleshooting, it just goes with the territory... always has even on Windows and Mac. The tech savvy and troubleshooting tend to come into play with non-standard / niche / unsupported hardware configurations and/or running bleeding edge / complex configurations. Most desktop and laptop configurations aren't that. The main thing a non-tech savvy user needs to worry about when considering Linux is to generally understand that hardware support lags a bit. So they should do a few web searches on the make/model of hardware they want to use + 'Linux support' before they dive in. If they don't see page after page of glowing success stories, they have their answer and should steer clear of that configuration for the time being. If they do see lots of success stories, read a few of them to see if their eyes glaze over at what is written or if it seems pretty straight-forward and they can follow what's being said. No tech savvy required.
