That's my expectation, but I've got a father who forces Microsoft products upon everyone for the reason that they're paid and industry standard and thus must be good (no, there is no argument possible; yes, it's worth the money even if mom touches spreadsheets less than once a year). I have the greatest trouble getting Libreoffice and Thunderbird to be a thing (since I can actually support that over the phone); Linux will be a whole 'nother challenge. He's quite full of himself and people eat it up, and free stuff that nerds use is definitely not on his prestige list
One day for sure though. They're slowly all getting old and asking more of me. Maybe when the current hardware generation needs replacing I'll give it a stab. Indeed, they need very little beyond a browser, Thunderbird (just because they're used to a local email client), a PDF reader (Evince/PdfJS have way fewer buttons and clutter and pop-ups than the Adobe crap), and some WYSIWYG editor compatible with the old doc(x) format (like Libreoffice). The time where local stores shipped photo-album-designer software are probably long gone, though I should double check beforehand
