Well installing it. That alone requires a challenge most folks probably couldn't overcome easily. People are accustomed to just getting a computer with a working os on it. Changing that os would be pretty hard for them.
And let's be real, you at least need a degree of tech savvy to deal with the inevitable issues that will come up. Even on the simplest distro.
IDK, only times when I broke things on Debian were when I made the unwise decisions to do things I don't fully understand (that doesn't really happen now). And my elderly mom uses Mint with less problems than she did Windows.
I mean buying a usb, installing imaging software, not messing up the drive your try to create the installer on. That's already a lot harder than most tech illiterate people that just need to buy a computer.
