    Maybe a ChromeOS machine? It doesn’t get more simple to use than that.

      unfortunately it can be a minefield with each ChromeOS machine having a set update expiration date from date of first availability.

      Nope. For a family member you just install ubuntu. Maybe if you feel strongly about it, you uninstall snap firefox and install apt firefox, but otherwise you just leave it alone.

      it’ll run forever, auto update, etc. completely hands off and stress free.

      I got a Chromebook years ago to have to write when out, but now they won’t update it and to install Linux I have to flip a physical switch on the other side of the motherboard.

      My Dad gets upset and let’s me know when Yahoo changes their homepage. (Yes, he still uses yahoo mail.) He has a flip phone and still struggling with it.
