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.

Planning to install OpenSuse Aeon for my dad. He recently got a new laptop and is willing to give Linux a try on the old one. We’ll see how it goes and which laptop he’ll use more. His requirements are pretty low, he basically needs a browser most of the time, maybe some Office suite and sometimes FreeCad. I told my whole family I refuse to support Windows on their PCs.
