For my grandmother I set up “Web Apps” with Epiphany (a.k.a. GNOME
Web) for Wikipedia, News, Weather, etc.  Then I copied the .desktop
files for these Web Apps from ~/.local/share/applications to the
Desktop folder for desktop icons (launchable with a single click via
an extension for GNOME Shell, alternatively with a different shell).
There also is a symlink to the Pictures and Videos directories on the
desktop.  She still barely uses her computer though.  A touchscreen
would have made it easier to use the desktop interface compared to a
scary touchpad with left and right button.
