I think Gnome is quite simple for old folks. Just make the dock with pinned apps (or panel or whatever it is called) always visible, and that's a solid experience.

Is that possible without an addon/extension nowadays? I used Gnome and DashToDock / Plank etc for years but got fet up with stuff breaking with system updates.
