Is there a Linux distro suitable for people who have no idea how to use a computer?

Linux started out wanting to do just that, but I have seen even Linux die hard's say that it actually has gottin more complicated. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers I would suggest Windows by far. I have Windows 7 on one hard drive and I have Ubuntu (distro) on a second hard drive and I love it, I have nothing against Linux, but I have found you really need to get into the command line and find things on the hard drive more and things like that where you just never would have to at all on Windows, where it holds a newbies hand just about all the time.
So I really couldn't see any distro good for someone that knows absolutely nothing about computers!
