Wow. She's actually fine with it? Or just not complaining? Everything from the touchpad sensitivity and mouse pointer ballistics to the UI shortcuts and focus-stealing prevention always suck for me on Linux, meaning more strain on my hands etc... I can't actually use a Linux OS on a regular basis without feeling like it'll make me break a few bones or pinch a few nerves in a few months.

There's no way for me to know for sure which ;) She seems to like it a lot, but I don't know how much of that is the work I put in before hand. I spent a good week customizing everything from font size to mouse sensitivity to shortcuts and browser plugins before I gave it to her. It was pretty much "what do you want your computer to do", then I built her something that did exactly that. But that pays off because I don't have to spend a bunch of time on tech support now, and she doesn't have to spend time learning new paradigms. The only time I ever touch it is if she explicitly asks for it to do something new, which is rare. I think better file/photo tagging is the only big thing on my todo list atm.
