I'm the owner of Minifree Ltd: https://minifree.org/
Minifree sells Libreboot computers to fund development of Libreboot; I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer.
#libreboot is a free software project, replacing the proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on supported computers. It offers many security and performance benefits compared to most proprietary firmware, and it's highly configurable.
Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD.
tl;dr I sell Libreboot, and Libreboot accessories.

MrsD had a Win8 laptop and got the free upgrade to Win10. It doesn't allow patching to be interrupted.
When logging on to send an urgent email, she got "Please wait, applying patches". 24+ hours later, still applying, disc churning.
She asked is she could have"that Linux thing you use". We installed Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop and she took to it like a duck to water. Later, she reclaimed the space Win10 used, for extra data. Never looked back.
HTH.

Set my mother up with Linux desktop in 2008 after she retired from an office job. Shes used it since, replaced a couple times for hardware upgrades or whatnot. Shes 78 now, still uses it fine. Though uses her phone more.
Install and configuration is much more specialized skill than just using it.
