And he'll have the problem on each distro with this computer.

He needs to know how one can install proprietary NVidea or setup Xorg to use
the linux nuovo driver.

I think if a newbie gives up from the second time, it's better he gives up
forever.

The younger people (I assume he's younger) are not patient and have this
go - buy - throw away mentality. With this mentality one is better off with
Apple.

If he's patient, he would listen and find the solution - it is in fact very
simple. He could use also the framebuffer.

Just try 
        apt-get install nvidia-driver 
this is NVIDIA metapackage
