I'm looking to set up a machine for my stepdad to record and edit music on. Audacity is the first choice that comes to mind, but I'm wondering if there are better/more fitting to usecase options out there.

I just like to record myself playing the guitar once in a while and use Ardour with my UMC 22 audio interface. For me it is just great.. I can record my voice and guitar, use some plugins to get a better sound out of my cheap guitar and mic.. and record different tracks and sync them. I'd recommend Ardour and the behringer audio interface all the way.

Yeah if your needs are that simple and you don't need tons of virtual instruments and crazy effects, Ardour is worth recommending.
