Yeah, I am half expecting this not to work out, and I am fully prepared to install and debloat Windows for them if I have to. But I love Linux, so I want to give it a shot at least.
I don't think you'll have any trouble with Mint. I've set up senior citizens with Mint desktops and have yet to have any major issues. Contrary to what many people think, a solid Linux distro like Mint really isn't all that hard for a newbie to wrap their head around.
