My parents, both 90, use Linux Mint as their only OS (aside from occasionally using an iPad), and have for more than 5 years. They only surf the web and send email, and it (almost always) works perfectly for them. I visit every month or two and keep their system updated. The only issue came when they needed to use a Wi-fi dongle, and after trying four different dongles I ended up having to downgrade to an older version because none of the newer kernels seem to work with these dongles.
