As long as the distro is stable anyone can use it to use a browser and browse the internet. I had put Ubuntu Linux for my mom on a laptop, back in 2010, she was using just the browser. She had it for 2 years, no problems. She did nothing else with that laptop though, because that was the first time she was using a computer. She was mostly facebooking.

Exactly. My parents have been using Linux for years, they have no technical expertise, and most of the time they don't need it. For the average user, I find linux more stable than windows.
