My mom has been using Linux as her desktop OS without issue for over 10 years, and it makes the hardware last a lot longer (Win10 now has dynamically compressed memory, but for a long time this was a feature that was only available on Linux, and helped a lot). If you just need a web browser (Firefox and/or Chrome), office suite (LibreOffice), and basic scanning and photo editing (GIMP), Linux is completely adequate.
