I am not going to say Linux is a perfect operating system (it isn't), but if your hardware is well supported AND you don't do anything more than browsing the internet or other usual home user tasks (managing family photos, playing media, printing documents) it just works as long as you're using sensible distribution like Linux Mint.
There's no reason to open the terminal unless... something breaks like you just said.
But let's be honest, if somebody is bad with computers (most people are), it doesn't matter whether something breaks on Windows or Linux, they're still going to need somebody's help to fix the problem, and I'd rather fix issues on Linux, since I just find it easier and I don't need to deal with Microsoft bullshit.
