It’s gotten a lot better with eg Pop_OS!. My girlfriend installed that last year and I’ve had an easier time with it than with Windows 10.

This is very different from my experience supporting family members' Linux machines. Linux simply doesn't break and get constantly polluted/corrupted like Windows did very regularly. One of my parents is thousands of miles away. It must "just work", and it has for years with some careful initial setup. It's also great that I can't remember the last time they had to buy a computer.
