I decided to stop supporting non-Unix devices long ago. Microsoft ops/adminsys are gods, honestly. Cryptic messages, error logs that disappear, interfaces everywhere (i'm not against GUI but sometime its too much). I can't really configure networking since XP (or windows 7 i guess), it changed too much. Things that takes one hour to understand with most Unix can take a week for windows (versioning multiple php and multiple php-crypt, what a pleasure...).
Anyway, Mac are sufficently unixy that i don't have that much issues. I recommand chromebooks for non tech-savy people now and i did install linux mint on my grandmother PC shortly before she passed away (no relation hopefully), it was great and i had a remote access without installing a scam enabler. If you don't mind explaining things to your grandmother, this is a great idea. I did shortcut her three apps (and did aliases in the terminal to show her how i work usually, i don't think she ever used ctrl-alt-T after that day but still, great times). 100% would do again.
