From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recommend Fedora. It's user friendly and nice to use.
Yeah considering OP already uses mostly open software and prefers things to be up to date I think fedora is a good option. If they use gnome then flatpak might suit them nicely, it has matured nicely. Only thing is that it won’t be as familiar to them coming from Ubuntu and its derivatives, but I don’t think it’s that tough of a transition to make.
