Edit: When you say you did it manually, what do you mean exactly?
Check dmesg output when after the wifi drops and see what the kernel is doing. That could inform your decision. I have an old asus that started having a bunch of wifi bugs too, and I’m pretty sure they made some updates to iwlwifi. No solution though, I dont really care because that machine barely gets any use. Wifi always works perfect if I stay on a tty and don’t enter a graphical session.
That being said I wouldn’t choose fedora for an older relative unless they were really into computers. While it has become more stable in recent years, they do break things from time to time.
If you do decide to keep them on fedora, maybe try an atomic version. That way when things break you can just roll back with no issues and pin the working deployment. Chances are they just want a web browser and libreoffice so the learning curve wouldn’t really matter to them.
