You can sit your computer-illiterate grandma down in front of a Linux box and as long as it's running a window manager that looks a bit like Windows 95, she'll be fine because she's highly unlikely to figure out how to break it. Sit your 13-year-old nephew down and he'll know that there's a root account which can change settings, and that settings are in config files, and next thing you know you're doing a clean install because fuck knows what he changed and now it crashes 45 minutes and 33 seconds after boot, but only on Thursdays.
