Distro suggestions for grandparents? (aussie.zone)

Hello there. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Linux distro for grandparents? They are over 70 years old, with an old HP desktop and laptop running Windows 10. All they need is a Web browser, so no need for special software or wine to run Windows programs. Would preferably like something that is low maintenance so I don't have to be constant tech support for them (apart from the initial install and setup). Thanks for any suggestions.

It does have live versions for several DEs (gnome, kde, xfce, probably a couple others). If you have a bunch of spare usb sticks you could flash each of them into one and swap between them
