What is the best looking and at the same time easiest desktop (including window$ and mac o$) that you would reccomend to your mother and law, or if you dislike her to your beloved younger sister? Would you let her install it by herself?

KDE4.

no doubt

Are these answer exempt of partiality or conflict of interest?

I'll be honest here, and it sucks -- but I would tell (and have told) my mother-in-law to buy a computer with the latest windows on it. Why? because I'm the only person she knows who could explain how to do anything in linux, and I get bothered by her often enough as it is, when she can't figure out how to close a popup and get back to facebook. At least this way, my wife and her sister can help her out, too. And no, I would never have her install it herself... she can barely find the power button.

Now, somebody who was a little more computer-literate and was looking to have an active relationship with their OS...I would definitely point them to linux, and probably to KDE-4. But, I would probably give them a handful of live CD's (porteus on top ) and tell them to try them all and see what they liked the best.

My answer was impartial I am mostly using KDE4 for developing and surfing.

C'est à cause de fanthom

+1 Ahau.

Simple, familiar and the kid next door can help with problems. I get a job when it breaks down and they are at the top of their game. If everybody was using KDE4 then us nix users wouldn't bee 'cool' anymore.

You might be right in saying so. However, how would be a world dominated by linux? Lets dream. 8)

The new trend is Tablets, and they are most linux..... Just wait and see

Because, Linux has no limits and it is free for everyone !!

Windows also has free versions, but not very genuin ones
