So far it’s been pretty smooth for the most part a few issues (printer related) and a couple other things I was able to hop on and help her.
There’s one issue that has puzzling me though and I need some help. Every so often while she is using the computer her monitors go dark and the computer becomes unresponsive, I asked her to try ctrl alt f1, f2, etc to no effect. The only thing that fixes this is pressing the power key until the computer turns off. I tried checking the journalctl logs but didn’t see anything of note. What else can I check?

Doesn’t sound like this is screen blanking as it happens during use but to rule it out you could temporarily disable that with
xset -dpmsandxset s offon X11. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_Power_Management_Signaling#Xorg
