Having switched many relatives to Linux recently too, Mint will be your best jumping off point for a familiar feel and pain free experience as someone new to Linux. If you love that and find yourself wanting more, then the world is your oyster! I started on Mint and ultimately settled on Fedora Plasma after trying out a half dozen different options.
Haven’t had a need to open one the entire time I’ve been on the OS! Other than for my own development needs, but that’s my own use case and nothing to do with operating the OS as a user.
