My mom uses Fedora Linux for more than 15 years. She never saw any of that. I perform upgrades when necessary.

Similarly, my parents are on Ubuntu LTS since 6.06 (not on the same computer, obviously), when I got tired with regular windows reinstallations. There have been exactly two problems:
- "internet doesn't work" -> yanked ethernet cable. Later I made sure it cannot be easily yanked.
- "printer doesn't print" -> classic inkjet problem with dried ink. Inkjet replaced with b/w laser. no problems since.
