I think, if you don’t intend to tinker, the newest Ubuntu is a valid option as well.
I don’t say I like Ubuntu, but I am not the target. I think common Windows and mac user will still have their best linux time on Ubuntu.
Just make sure, that they stay up to date and get their software mostly from snapstore (which I for myself don’t even really like).
Most common software will just work, as it does on macOS.
I cautiously agree, I feel like I'd be fine with Ubuntu... but I'm also tech savvy. So I have to be cautious I do not assume my expertise is shared by others. What might be a speed bump for me might be a show stopper for someone else.
I work with people who don't understand why my iPhone has features theirs don't, looks differently from theirs. Like I'm some kind of hacker. Um, no, I just installed the Liquid Ass update last month. I mean that's when it was publicly released. I've been in the public beta since July. But users have had access to it for nearly a month. But just doing a system update is beyond some people. They gotta be walked through it.
