As long as the OS was supported, updates were available.
But yes, I loaded a nice Fedora on it… 😉
This is exactly the same question I asked 3 years ago when my brother died, and left all his tech stuff to his non-tech wife and kids.
Fortunately I was able to migrate whatever was important to cloud-based services.
But what will happen if this happens to me? I have no other siblings, and I made it a habit not consorting with techies: I don’t like nerds 😉, and I prefer to talk about other subjects in my spare time.
One of the reasons I used to self host a lot is privacy, and because I am an Open Source advocate. So I migrated everything important to commercial offerings which supported both, or at least the Privacy part.
I share a passwords through a password manager with my wife and kids, which gives them the keys to the kingdom. They can use my master password to unlock the doors. I also keep a paper with my most important passwords in a place my wife knows about, and can access without any proof of my death. Joint safes in the bank typically get sealed until the tax people have released the accounts.
Everything which I host myself now is disposable, and my wife knows she can turn it off without a second thought.

Aside from the obvious (company providing all the necessary tools) why not using libreoffice and saving it as M$ excel?
Yes! Been using it for a long time now! Never had any (major) issues!
So pure out curiosity… and science! how many liters of toothpaste did you consume over the last 3 days?
That is indeed the palace of justice you see, towering above south station.
