After watching a musically-capable but non-technical friend of ours
struggle through three different Windows systems (built, configured and
supplied by one of the companies that sells pro music stuff, I forget
exactly which ones he's gone through, with their extensive technical
support help) in his effort to make music using computers ... Windows
can't provide an OOTB pro audio experience, either.

Hate to say this, but Macintosh might be the better choice for OOTB pro
audio if someone's not interested in learning enough to do it through Linux.
