The installation requires some linux knowledge yes, the usage after is pretty simple.

Issue is any person used to android is going to wonder "why is this app suddenly gone from the store". Unless you use waydroid, but I'm not sure how seamless the experience is there. Or if they don't use any apps that don't have linux equivalents.
