I think you're underestimating modern Linux - Mint is particularly good at it, but a lot of distros have become very simple and user friendly to install. Installing mint to keep a shittop running is exactly what one of my least tech literate friends did, and when I tried similar I was really surprised at how easy they make it.
At worst they can probably find some kind of Linux coop near them that would be happy to install it for them.
