My mum is in her late 80s and only lives about a 40 minute drive away, but generally needs no support to use Linux on her PC.
She switches it on, double-clicks the Firefox icon, and it opens up.
That's it. That's the whole thing. I did originally have it set to just launch Firefox full screen on startup, but she didn't like it like that.

I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of the cake mix that was created that originally included egg powder so you just had to add water but people didn’t feel like they were really baking so they removed it and have you add eggs which made people happy and it became super popular.
Something about not wanting Firefox to just open automatically and wanting to double click it instead gave me the same vibes haha.
