Yeah, my computer-illiterate parents have been using Linux Mint for 12 years. I turned on autoupdates and Timeshift backups... It just works, and switching from XP was a lot easier than figuring out Windows 8. All they care about is that it has a web browser (Firefox), email (Thunderbird), and can print out tide charts from an old program that doesn't work under newer Windows.
I find AMD for GPU and Brother for network printer work out of the box.
