The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.
If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.
If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.
Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.

If they are used to Windows, go with KDE. I’d say Cinnamon or XFCE. Plenty customizable enough for this use case and very straightforward.
