My daily driver is Ubuntu 22.04 and my wife has no problem using it
whatsoever.  She can do pretty much what she wants to do (which isn't really
much).

I recently did the same thing for my Mom.  I took her old Win 'puter and put
Ubuntu on it. She loves it!  All she does is email, web surfing, pay some
bills and social media (Fakebook).  No worries about her getting malware or
stupid windows errors.  All the hardware was supported including the printer
(HP printer).  For her, it just works...and that's plenty good for me.
