Yeah, that's my biggest hesitation with recommending Linux to absolutely everyone. It's super easy to install most of the time. But most people are not equipped to work around issues that may come up, and then the computer is as good as bricked until they find help.

Yeah, the IT barrier to entry is definitely there. Though I would say most reasonably savvy people can handle making an account on the forums and getting some enthusiastic expert support.
