I have my 84 year old uncle running Mint (replaced win 10) for over a year now with no issues. He has -2 tech skills. To me that's saying a lot about how far Mint (and Linux in general) has come.
As far as he is concerned the only difference for him was you have to push enter after entering your login password. Other then that he has had zero issues. Even his late model HP printer worked first try.
He is what I call a basic user. E-mail, web browsing and office work. Most people I tech support for have switched and had little to no issues.
On a personal note as a steam gamer I don't even consider my OS any more. I have yet to come across a game I own that has not worked.
I'd say Debian and Slackware as they are the least prone to breakage due to their usage of older(but stable)packages. It's pretty much bleeding-edge vs. stability.

Debian because it is stable. Plus, they reject untested code, such as the SSH exploit.
I enjoy my CachyOS a lot, but for most users something like Mint is more than enough, Debian is very good also.
I've been on Fedora XFCE Spin for years. It may not be best, but I know it and know how to make it do what I want.

Bleeding-edge can cut your throat sometimes and epic fail.
