Vs dog crap windows..im curious.

My friend wants to go linux because he hates Microsoft but im worried he will have issues and hes not very techy. Mostly he uses it for a daw, and a lot of that stuff is not compatible with linux. An older MacBook would work better for him I think...he wants to be more privacy conscious but hes not crazy about it.

You can see what they store, what’s encrypted, and who holds the keys here. If your friend can keep a password that he will never lose, he should turn on Advanced Data Protection.
