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.
