My mom has a business and mostly uses Windows and Mac OS X; I mentioned Linux because it could help save money.
She is unfamiliar with Linux though; I gave her some basic introduction (uncertain if it’s any good, but sure), but I would like to be able to ease her into Linux if she prefers it.
A decade ago, when my moms laptop stopped working, I installed Fedora on it and set everything up for her, and she loved using it for years until my dad got her a mac 🙄
Now her mac is deprecated and I’m sure that fedora laptop still works just fine lol

Yes… I think that’s probably the solution : find an old laptop, and flash something user-friendly onto it. Make sure it’s got LibreOffice, a browser and an email client (if that’s her thing).

And a distro that has solid hardware compatibility and helpful, non toxic community.
Which distro should I use? I was thinking of using Ubuntu.

That’s what I was thinking too. Ubuntu also has the most support, if I remember correctly.
P.S How do you post on one instance with an account in another instance?

I think Fedora is just as user friendly, but better than Ubuntu. But, yeah, I know Ubuntu is popular ( I just don’t like it).
Yeah. Why not?
I was thinking the same thing. I just wasn’t certain until now.
