I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.

There are some similar sites to this one, but since I'm not familiar with them, I won't post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.

That's pretty much what I do now. Choice paralysis is a thing, and Mint is solid for people to dip their toes. The exception I've made if it's someone more techy to begin with, then I might recommend Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi as a starting point. But that's only if it's someone already into networking or Powershell scripting or similar.
