Word is that Linux based OSes are for tech savvy people. Truth is that if you need only web browser and sometimes office software Linux is best for your usecase. I've installed Manjaro (but any other one "easy" distro would work too) to my mothers laptop and she got used to it fast and barely notices difference between her laptop and her Windows machine on work. Seems to me like small thing you can do for your parents to keep them safer and more private on internet.
@farhan There are laptop manufactures that pre install Linux if that's what you meant by "you don't have to install it". Afaik Dell ships some models with Ubuntu installed
@farhan In Serbia its little bit different, most laptops/pcs on market don't come with OS pre installed but people still install Windows anyway, pirated Windows for personal usage to be exact
