Debian Stable, unattended upgrades,
In the upgrades config: small chunks just for error prevention, mail on error, reboot while she's asleep if it needs to.

Disallow any installation of third party software by just setting the UAC to the highest possible thing and give your mom a limited account.

Also pirate Malwarebytes Premium and enable real-time protection.
