That's a difficult one- I totally understand what you are saying but all I can say is I am the most computer illiterate person you are probably going to find, in fact I pretty much hate computers, I don't use them day to day (no need in my job) and I dont understand them at all. In my experience Linux Mint has been by a long long way the easiest computer OS I have ever used and the only one where I haven't had problem after problem, the odd glitch I have had has been quickly solved by the Mint community. But I am only a very basic computer user so that may have something to do with it.

Just to clarify you say in your post (see above) "learn Linux just to get Calibre working on a Chromebook" I know what you mean there but for clarity I just want to point out you can't get Mint installed on a Chromebook (at least not without a lot of jiggery pokery)
