My 75 year old father in law have been running vanilla gnome for the last 5 years. Turned out to be less confusing than Windows and less ways to mess up the computer. Only support I had last year was when the printer queue was paused for som reason. But I also helped a relative with the same thing on Windows 11 a few weeks ago, so that seems to not be a Linux issue.

So, Gnome is pretty much suitable for your grandma.

Why are printers always the thing? I'm "good at computers" so my family is always asking me to fix their damn printer.

To be fair printers suck and no one wants to deal with them
