A long lost host (a machine that's been offline or in a closed off network etc.) can find its master (puppetserver) when it sees the daylight again with the regularily polling puppet agent service. This is not as straightforward with ansible's push model.

I get it. That's why I included the part about "the family tech guy". And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for "beginner install linux" or some such. If the spark isn't there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.
Life is a long learning experience. Installing (or asking that nerdy relative to install) a Linux distro is no biggie anymore and when picking a good all-around distro like Mint, for example, pretty much anyone who has some basic experience on computers can do it.
Yup, and the egg from which the first chicken was hatched was laid by a very close precursor of a chicken that was not yet quite a chicken herself, unlike her chick.
