You are probably right. I was not successful in running Leo with the python3 which came with Ubuntu, but that was because there was no matching pyQt5 package available at the time when I tried. I installed python3 and pyQt5 with conda, and that worked for me. This may no longer be an issue, depending on the library versions available now. I'll find out soon when I try a clean install in the next two weeks.
In my original post I was just thinking about some people, who may not even try Leo, because they fail to be able to install it on the first try, but most potential Leo users have probably enough computer skills to cope.
