Just direct everybody to Linux Mint Debian Edition for their first distro. It just feels so familiar to a Windows user and should check all boxes for people who just need a basic PC.
The only issue is the nvidia driver. Not an issue for someone without a graphics card or using AMD. Some people might bounce off it even if it is a 5 minute thing to get working.
IMO ublue with a plasma spin (bazzite or aurora) is succeeding mint as the best distro for windows noobs.
