I know this is tongue-in-cheek but I've actually had good luck giving normies Debian stable. Install Xfce on it, show them the applications menu, their home folder, and how to start the web browser (preload it with uBlock Origin) and they're generally good to go with no further problems.

Dude was a dick but that was a great moment. Everyone laughed, I felt so bad for the poor idiot and I'm pretty sure he dropped immediately after.
