Not a bad idea!
It wasn't very difficult to convert my parents. Pretty much everything my mother needs is a web browser and Skype. My father works as a representative of one of the biggest companies in the world (I'm not even exaggerating, it's in top 20 in Global 500 list by Forbes), so using anything except Microsoft's Office was just not possible for him. Luckily, we all have an Office 365 subscription, so he can use web app instead of native app. He's stuck with Windows at work, so using Linux is a nice way to use the technology that doesn't remind him of work.
The hardest job was to convert my (younger) brother, It involved using Wine and Play on Linux to make a couple of games compatible with Linux. His favorite game is running on lower FPS than on Windows, but I convinced him by promising to buy him a couple of Linux compatible games on Steam after he made the switch.
