The middle hellish experience being described here is not a bad thing.
Fact is, Ubuntu used as autopilot is pretty great! It is way better than it used to be. Mere mortals can jump on a computer and often get the few things they want done.
What I do with users of that type, and myself depending on my moods and motivations for a particular machine, is treat it like Android.
Find the users an app they can click on and or tell them it is not going to happen.
Many will be happy with that.
The ones who are not need help.
Either they grow and become readers, and can pilot the computer properly, or they won't and helping them makes as much sense as their own efforts do.
