I've tried several distributions and while one might resolve a problem
that only exists in the other, it also comes with its own set of
problems. In the end, Linux is a very worthwhile operating system for
anyone who is looking to put some time into learning it but for anyone
who wants to just get going, chances are that Windows and Mac OS will
do a better job. 

However, I have to say this. If a computer user had never used any of
the three operating systems, I'd say that they would find Linux a lot
easier to learn to maintain. It would also be a lot easier to find the
software that you need to do your work in Linux because of the fact
that most distributions come with a decent "store" to find
applications for every need. That's not to say that the software is as
good as what you would find on the Mac or in Windows, but at least a
person looking for a word processor or a PDF reader would be able to
quickly find one if either is not already bundled with the software.
In the case of Windows, a user would need to know to go on the web to
find one and then he'd have to learn to differentiate from malware and
the real deal. In the case of the Mac, chances are that he would find
what he needs in the store, but like in Windows he'd have to learn how
to differentiate between real software and software which is
essentially useless until you pay for it. 

For actual maintenance, a new Windows user would have absolutely no
idea how to fix any issue unless it's with Metro apps that allow him
to reset the app. Registries. hidden folders and the like are probably
beyond the comprehension of a new user. Similarly, on the Mac, a user
would probably not have any idea what the heck permissions are and why
they would need to be fixed.
