Agreed. Unconditionally recommending Linux to regular people isn't a good idea. In my opinion it's fine with all the disclaimers about possible disadvantages and recommend them to inform themselves about it.

Just talking about my experience got them interested enough to at some point try to daily drive Linux on their desktop PC, one of them used PopOS for 2 years on their uni laptop at that point.

At the end of the day it's all about expectations. Most people are uninterested in computers and want to continue using what they know. Others want to experiment and will learn more themselves after being shown something interesting (through YT, conversations, Steam Deck tutorials, ...).
