Distance from Jupiter to minimize destructive tidal forces

+0
−0

There is a video from "What If" that tells about (precisely) "What if Earth was a moon of Jupiter":
What if the Earth Was a Moon of Jupiter

And, in a short story I am writing in an alternate reality I have more or less that scenario: Jupiter is located from the Sun in the Earth orbit, and Earth is a moon of Jupiter. (The video above talks about the effects of Earth as a moon of Jupiter in the current Jupiter orbit).
My question is: Supposing Jupiter is in current Earth´s orbit, and the Earth is a moon of Jupiter: At what distance should Earth be orbiting Jupiter to minmize the destructive tidal forces?

I know there have been some other similar questions in the past. For example this:
Conditions for human life in a Jupiter-like system

But in this case, I am specifically asking for a safe orbit distance (kilometers), and that datum has not been asked before (as far as I could find).
