How to switch your friends / family to Linux.
You are likely the tech guy in your group, but your friends / family, are not, and that is why they will come to you for help or insight. Whatever cool Linux distro you are imagining, do you "need" to use the terminal? If yes, that is the wrong distro!
Your grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, bother, sister, cousin, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, and friends, learned Windows visually. If they know the PowerShell, they learned it after visually learning, Windows.
Pick a Linux distro that is visual. It's 2024, and there are more than a few Linux distros that are visual. For example, Ultramarine Linux, KDE Plasma (edition).
Do not compromise on visual. If you're imaging a Linux distro that is almost visual, but to update you need to run a command, it is the wrong distro. You can teach them all your tricks, only after they have visually learned, Linux, and doing it before, guarantees they will pick up a new PC with Microsoft Windows.
