People who have installed Linux on their parents computer, how did it go? Which distro do you recommend? Any tips?

There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences.
Edit: I'm assuming that parents are okay with the changes, or do not care. Obviously do not force anyone to switch OS if they don't want to.

I'm heavily considering it. My parents are on windows 7 and don't want to use windows 10/11. Right now I'm leaning towards ZorinOS
In my opinion everything after Windows 7 progressively got worse. Windows 7 (with some exceptions) was about as good as Windows got.
If their computer is secure and they're still happy with it, I'm not sure I would poke that bear. I'm glad that newer versions of Windows aren't a consideration.
I hate Windows with a passion, but when forced to at work, Windows 7 is the only thing I would consider. Until they allowed me to switch fully over to Mac that is:-). (Linux was not an available option.) Hey, maybe one day Microsoft will make something that is somewhat good like... hehe I can't even finish that sentence with a straight face:-P.
