” If you want a Windows-like experience, stay on Windows. “

This is misleading. It sounds like it is meant to scare people away.
While I will admit that your average, non-nerdy, low tech, or “I just want to check my email and shop amazon” types should probably stay on Windows, but as someone who has used several version, I can say that’s not difficult to load and run at all. From what I have seen, they typically have things like the package manager, so you don’t need to access the command line or no how to sudo.
If you have used windows since windowsXP or before, you have seen so many versions of windows in the past that some of the interface differences in many of the Linux systems aren’t going to put you off very much.

Thanks to ShadowAce for the ping!
This is a good time to thank Microsoft Corporation for unintentionally promoting Linux through their years of shoddy code built upon shoddy code, constant security breaches, mandatory updates, upgrades and overall greed. Way to go team!
Special Short Bus Trophy for whoever thought Windows 8 was an improvement over 7.
