Yes, it may seem like a confusing mess. The most 'user-friendly' way to explain is to explain it in terms relevant to them. For instance:
Linux User: "So you're interested in Linux? Great! Now it's gonna be a little different from what you're used to, but don't worry."
Average User: "Okay... what's different...?"
Linux User: "Unlike what you've been using, Linux comes customized for specific target audiences. You need to choose something made for your needs."
Average User: "What?! what do you mean?"
Linux User: "What I mean is, Linux is kind of like buying a car. When buying a car, you buy a car that is practical for you. In the case of Linux, choose something that sounds like it suits your computing needs like windows has"
Average User: "So... I pick one?"
Linux User: "yeah, but the choices you need to make are geared towards how you want to use your computer. *offers distro links*"
Linux User: "If you need help, don't be afraid to ask"
