@fhein Mint (personal opinion - not a big fan), Fedora KDE, Ubuntu (not a fan).
Heck, even an immutable distro like Bazzite or NixOS.
NixOS has quite a learning curve, so even if your son wants to, he'll have to learn his way out.

@pathief Mint doesn't support Wayland well. Haven't tried it in a while, so I might be totally wrong.
Go with Fedora GNOME/KDE.
