This has been my experience after I installed Fedora on my folks' laptops. Pretty much the only support they've required is the occasional major version upgrade I do for them when I visit. Regular patches get autoinstalled. They'll use Wi-Fi or USB tethering with their phones for internet browsing and my dad will occasionally connect the laptop to the TV set to watch some videos, and it all just works.
