Beeper is a good, easy solution. And it has a few platforms that might entice your family (FB, x, Whatsapp, signal, etc). It’s basically matrix with a bunch of bridges preset up… it can be self hosted if you really want to be privacy focused… I like it as it makes the login experience much easier than a traditional matrix app (like it just email them a code each login)

@thatonecoder unless i missed it, it looks like no one suggested puppy linux! it’s very light and some variants (bookworm pup) has wayland options (32 bit and xorg options as well) and full apt usage.
