Linux is worth it, but it is a hard jump to make in isolation.

There might also be a local Linux Users Group. There's even a small chance they might view newbies as welcome new members of the community, instead of someone to feel superior to and make fun of. If they have a mailing list, you can get a good idea of the culture of the group withing having to deal with them in person, even.
