The good looking and easiest desktop OS

[francois]

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?

[Hamza]

KDE4.

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.

+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.

[francois]

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

[Hamza]

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

Windows also has free versions, but not very genuin ones
