As someone who uses Linux Mint on daily basis on my daily driver, I can say that Linux is ready to be used by basically everyone. The only reasons anyone couldn't move to Linux, is if they need an specific software that isn't supported on Linux, like Photoshop, Microsoft Office, or some accounting suites. Other than that, Linux distros are fully capable systems that anyone can use.
Distros like Linux Mint and Ubuntu, can be used by anyone for most of the average user cases. Specially when used basic tasks like web browsing, and media streaming, Linux distros can handle them without any problem at all. With time, the user experience has been getting better since many distros have been working on making the average user experience better.
While there is some learning curve coming from Windows, or macOS, it has been getting easier to make the switch with time. Linux Mint is one of the best examples, specially with when using Cinnamon, which I've been using for 3 years now as my daily driver, and for about 6 months for work now. It has worked like a charm, even when using a two monitor setup.
The best thing for me about Linux Mint, is that it is based on Ubuntu's long term support releases. This make Linux Mint a solid and stable operating system, because it prioritizes stability and proven software. This means that I don't really have to worry about up dates braking the system unless something goes terribly wrong with an upgrade, or something get corrupted.
Linux distros have come a long way, and now they have become a solid option for almost everyone.
