    See, i love linux but in no world would i ever even be remotely tempted to download it for my relatives, its just not idiot proof enough for end users, who will never ever make the effort to learn.

      In my experience, it depends on the relative. Some of them just need a web browser, word processor, and a handful of other basics that are pretty similar across OS. After trying linux and discovering that their system ran faster and had far less down time than with Windows, they didn’t want to go back.
