Imo, the fact you know what crontab is indicates your a bit more than a 'basic' user. You can give yourself more credit than that ;).
Anyway, like the other commenter said, depends where your switching from but Zorin is pretty much making Linux as easy to use as possible. They even have a wrapper for bottles that makes installing windows apps with wine easier. I quite like it and would be what I'd suggest to someone who wants a general purpose computer. It's not great for gaming though as they don't use super up-to-date packages so performance is lacking. That being said, it looks great and makes things as easy as possible for noobies
