Yes, but they'd have an even better time with a Mac, and a better time still with a tablet or phone. The days of "windows is easier for end users" are largely at an end. In the modern world, these are *both* enthusiast/professional systems intended for special purpose deployment.

Than Mac? I don’t know if that’s true. The average user knows almost nothing about how to use their Mac from my anecdotes of running a virtual coworking community and trouble shooting people’s stuff.
I have found this to be true for my parents, only because they have an iPhone and iPad. If they weren't already in the apple ecosystem, it'd be a bit of a wash I think.

Not if they wanted to game or interact with the windows app ecosystem.
