What distros do you install on your mom’s, sister’s, buddy’s, etc machines?

My go-to has usually been Mint, but I wonder if there is a better set and forget, easily understood distro to install on the computers of those who will rely on you for support.

atomic distros would probably be a good option, but it seems that same disk dual boot is a no no, and that can be a deal breaker.

I’m thinlink QoL, for me, that is.

    None… I tried with my Dad and even add some cool tools in additions (youtube dlp frontend). 2 days later he just reinstalled Windows on top because: “My USB audio dongle didn’t worked”.

    Guess what? I didn’t either on Windows and was an external peripheral issue, not an OS/driver issue.

    But he also said:" Too complicated for me" 🤦‍♂️

    Linux mint debian edition.
