Fwiw, my advice is the opposite. With some minor tweaks (literally with the gnome tweak tool, which regrettably you need to install), I would recommend Ubuntu and Gnome for a comfortable desktop and "just works" convenience. I have a group of people (family and friends) that I converted to Linux and they all use it comfortably. I have a little howto doc to remember to tweak things the way I like (basically turning on more visual cues, menus and status bars and such) that I use to set up new installs. Tastes differ, of course. YMMV, of course, but personally, it has ended well.
