Clever idea. I don't have Skype but I can get it. I think it will run on Linux.
Dad had similar problems using his smart phone so we practiced until he was confident. He never mastered text messages though, even when using a hand held fake fingertip thingy I got for him, he still couldn't hit the right letters on the screen. They were just too small for him to see well and use comfortably.

I've got the texting sorted, apart from the fact that there is no 2G network up here anymore so it all goes 4G data.
Just got Skype for my distro. I'll set it up in the morning.
 
Chicken tax.....just in case.

Now I know you'll all roll around laughing but I need some help.
I got sent a smart phone. It runs on Andriod 10.
Now here's a thing. I can't answer the phone when someone rings me. There is a red phone icon and a green phone icon and, as one would, I press/tap the green icon and nothing happens. My daughter tells me I need to swipe it, but which direction?:oops::idunno
Place your finger on the green phone icon and slide your finger across the screen in the direction of the arrow.

Another thing to keep in mind, Shad, is that the gesture for answering a call can depend on the brand of the physical handset. I believe most androids are swipe to answer but some are tap to answer.

So, if the swiping fails, try a single tap. If that fails, you can try a double tap just in case your first tap was too gentle.

Not laughing. Mysteriously, mine sometimes requires a tap and sometimes a swipe. No idea why.
I think I swipe right. Try both ways and see which works.
You can do this!
