And this is better with any other distribution?
There are only so many places that you can present information about what went wrong. Given that Linux likes to accumulate useful debugging logs, you are at a disadvantage unless you know that they are there.
You are also at a disadvantage if you are unwilling to ask questions like, "How should I find this out?"
You are also at a disadvantage if you are unwilling to put some work in for yourself.
Such is life. But I still think that Knoppix is a good choice for someone who knows nothing because there are so many potential obstacles which will simply be nonissues.
