Best Linux Distro Privacy/Usability for a mid level user

What do you think is the best linux distro for a user who wants to migrate from windows in terms of privacy, usability and respect for the FOSS spirit?

I'm thinking to give a chance to #ElementaryOS https://elementary.io

#Linux #Privacy #FOSS @privacy @linux

Manjaro is really easy to use and understand for beginners.

No it's not. Unless by beginner you mean geek that's beginning with Linux.

I work with elderly people, they're the real beginners and I'll never install a Manjaro on their machines.

I'm looking to switch my parents over to something more friendly than windows which I can remote support. If it's okay to ask, what have you found has been well accepted by old people?

They hold back security patches. That's a 1000% nope distro
