The relationship between mindset and getting old

I jumped ship in snow leopard days when I saw what they were doing with their shared object formats (basically making my life difficult for no reason).

I've used Mint since then; never looked back. Mint on an old X220 thinkpad is better than anything mac has done since then. Requires a bit of overhead on setup to get power management right, but I paid that price years ago and can endlessly clone HD images.

Bonus is, most of my work product ends up on the EC2 anyway.

My problem is that I need to figure out a solution that works not just for me but also for my very-non-techie spouse. Mint might work for me, but I'm pretty sure it won't for her.

Mint+KDE is pretty good. Sadly the akonadi junk needs to be sabotaged.
