Why not use Linux Mint?

It is Ubuntu-based but without the bad parts like snap. So you get to keep access to all the Ubuntu packages but also your sanity.

I’ve been maintaining a machine deployed to my mother-in-law’s house for ~4 years with Mint.

She went from needing tech support every time I was at her house to never overnight.

I highly recommend Mint for this scenario.
