The Mrs. is getting curious about Linux

[Timmer1240]

My wifes finally coming around and genuinely interested in Linux now shes starting to see the light she said maybe sometime you could see about setting up Linux on her laptop!I would have to do a duel boot for her in case she panics and wants windows back. I wish I could get a used laptop and throw it on there for her for a test learning machine and she could try it out for a while.Gonna have to look for a cheap laptop!She sees me fixing all these windows boxes all the time and wonders why mine never breaks and seems rock solid!She sees the desktop on mine and thinks it looks cool I got it set up Mac like panel on top seems better up there for me.She used to be pro windows but now the tide is turning!

My wife dual boots Ubuntu and W7. She has uses for both OS's.

@Timmer1240,

How did that happen?
Did you use any 'strategy'?
Was any particular application that caught her attention?

I'm very curious!

It's like I'm running Linux on some kind of quantum computer.......

Makes me wonder how that quantum computer that's already shipped is working out. Of course, they can't tell us, or we'll change it....

My wife was sceptical about Ubuntu because my old computer used to crash a lot, she didn't understand that the hard disc was on it's last legs. Since my upgrade I haven't had one single glitch, that seems to have turned her.

Mine uses whatever I put on the desktop or netbook, Windows confuses her.
