MacOS, tbh that's all the average person needs

Macos > Ubuntu / Fedora

As I hate Apple, after years of experience I can say that macos is the simplest and the most stable os.

With linux I had different issues, starting from apps that are not supported, ending with issues with drivers…

if they're just doing web browsing - linux

if they have an iphone - macos

really depends what they want to do
