Zorin OS if you really need a Windows look a like (in case you come from there), Linux Mint is beginner friendly too

For any new linux user, they should find someone they can contact when they can't get the system to boot.
The distro the new user should use is the one recommended by the person they will turn to for help.
Same with which desktop environment to use. Use the one the support person is the most comfortable supporting.
Once they are comfortable with linux, then they can learn more by experimenting with other desktop environments and then other distributions.

They're all solid and well supported with good documentation and large user base

ZorinOS because it's one of the few distros that won't implement (((age verification)))

I don't think any distro will do that
