My sons are adults and they maintain their own computers and phones. My
mother uses Win 7 and in 4+ years has never broken it one.

She use Firefox, Thunderbird, Libreoffice, Skype, and some program that
I can not remember the name of that makes really complicated sewing
patterns and stuff. As well as several other programs. She watches
videos. Plays music. Streaming TV and movies. I fix nothing.

IMHO? Use what works.
