I've installed debian along with browsers and base programs for a couple non-techy relatives and they said they like it better than windows 10/11.

Which desktop environment did you select? I run Debian 12 bookworm with the Gnome desktop environment. But I suspect KDE or MATE may be more appealing to Windows converts.

I showed them different options. One liked xfce, the other liked MATE. These were for old computers by the way.

KDE is leaps and bounds better than gnome. It can be customized to be minimal. Gnome is just minimal and painful for the sake of trying to mimic macOS but in a terrible manner.
