"any media outlet, no matter how big an empire it is, that is not owned or funded by the state" is not the common definition of "independent media" (it's not even the definition given in the hyperlinked definition). "Independence" in this context refers to journalistic independence.

Seriously! I love the weirdo foss geeks but we need some fresh weird.
Zorin is another distro that (very successfully imo) does a windows-style taskbar with GNOME and is parent friendly, though like I said before, I think today I would go with something immutable for a non-techie because they're very hard to break.
KDE is the easiest for coming from Windows, you almost never never need the command line or anything "extra" to customize it (beyond what even Windows will allow).
GNOME (especially in Ubuntu) by default is more Macintosh-like which might appeal to some people, it's "simpler" but any customizations will require navigating the add-ons (and in my experience inevitably the command line too).
I think KDE is the one for most people who just want a functioning PC. GNOME could be good for the PC you might make for your parent. Bonus points for an immutable distro which are even harder to break.

I was not a fan of seasons 1-3 pretty much at all (3 was ok), but 4 was one of my favorite seasons of any Trek and 5 is also very good. I would be interested to read a follow up post when you're finished!
If you told me r/RedditAlternatives was operated by Reddit employees it wouldn't completely shock me. But a more likely explanation for why there is no "Fedi consensus" there is that because Lemmy/Piefed is the best option, the people who try it out are more likely to actually leave Reddit.
In short, there are people trying to "make Discuit happen" because unlike Lemmy it's well, not happening.
"Different developers but can still access the same content" is a great succinct way of describing it.

"Stuff in my feed I don't want to see in my feed" is kind of the exact problem the Fediverse set out to solve. Nothing gets "injected" to a feed here so if you are seeing it, it's a choice to continue to do so.
