If you were to install Linux on a laptop for someone, what distro would you use?

My head tells me Linux Mint, but my heart says listen to your head. Why is this hard? 😂

What is the persons skill level and are both of you OK with you picking up the slack?

She’s a pretty proficient windows user who mentioned looking at kbuntu. She can probably handle some rough edges on her own, but I have no interest in long term support. So probably mint 🤣
