You're missing the point, which is "use" not "modify". The poster's mother is using Linux. Using it to browse the Web, send e-mail, and process words. Maybe more, I don't know since I don't know the lady in question.
Remember that not everyone uses a computer in the same way. Most people I know (on Linux, Mac, or Windows) use their boxes for a small number of tasks. And, in many cases, they had to have someone else set the system up for them.
