Just installed Fedora 34 on a new Lenovo AIO for my elderly parents. It took a max 5 minutes of attention from me (maybe 30 minutes elapsed?), including making the USB boot disk. Everything worked on first boot. Everything.
Also note that the move from Windows 7 (their old machine) to Fedora was no problem for them, since they were already using FireFox, Thunderbird and Skype. Their setup is so minimal there is virtually nothing they can do to break it (no accidentally installing malware anymore).
As for 'spend it with your family', I've spent countless hours 'with my family' trying to debug windows problems over the phone. No more of that now.
Years ago, I bought a new laptop for my other half.
Upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8.
She tried using Windows 8 for about a week and was so appalled at all the pointless changes (weird PDF viewer with no menus etc...) that she was very much relieved to have Fedora instead, and has never looked back since.
