So many people are advising to leave her choose her OS. I'm tempted to join them, even if I'm considering to ditch Windows at home myself. But there are a couple of thoughts I'd like to share. Does she maintain her current laptop? One of my current complaints with Windows is how intrusive the AV, indexing or other background tasks are. If you are shielding her from the real Windows experience and telling her that slowness is because the laptop is old, she has a biased outlook. At the end of the day, the question is if she can do the same things that she does now. Can't you set up a Linux VM in another beefier computer and let her check for herself? If you can't build an environment where she feels comfortable, just buy what she says.
