A number of the questions are impossible for "regular users" to answer. 32 bit or 64 bit system? Isolated spaces?

Just recommend Ubuntu or Mint. That's it. We can figure out other distros later if necessary.

My dad had problems with Ubuntu since the snaps didn’t communicate well. For example opening links in Thunderbird using Firefox.

I would recommend mint just to avoid the snaps.
