    None of that happens though and cli is not needed for most users. Updates are automatically pulled and installed whenever she restarts. Worst case scenario she knows to press down once during boot to select previous snapshot.

        Pretty much every rolling distro works this way. Nothing fantastical about it.

        If you want even more set-it-and-forget-it setup you can use any immutable distro. OpenSuse MicroOS in my grandma’s case.

        You realize you can set up commands that get ran on start up, right?

        Including one to update apt or whatever package manager and then upgrade.

        Most versions of Linux can handle installation with no user input, or leaving the session. Kernel updates require a restart, but the update is already installed.

        (Whether you should or not is an entirely different matter.)
