I truly wouldn’t recommend Linux for a fairly tech illiterate person like him
I would actually argue the opposite, linux is way more intuitive for new people who hasn’t used a pc before or hasn’t used windows long enough to fill their brain with their unconsistent mess. I’ve seen 3 variants of this already with people close to me ( last one of them encouraged by me). Kinda mind boggling.
I mean he’s tech illiterate when it comes to anything semi complicated but with the way he uses his pc and the software he uses it would just not be possible for him to switch at all, would be unable to do 70% of the stuff he wants to do.
Linux is only good for the truly tech illiterate/pretty noice users in my opinion. After that you hit a point where they are literate just enough that they would need to solve problems on linux they wouldn’t have to on windows and their inability to solve problems on Linux make their experience bad.
One level above that Linux is the better option again though.
