My wife has a Mac, but when it dies, I'm going to persuade her to try Ubuntu. She only uses the Mac for Facebook and occasional Word/Excel. I think LibreOffice and Firefox should have her covered.

My wife is a writer who is, sadly, heavily invested in MS Word.

We are also both heavily invested in iPhoto (which is why all our machines still run Mavericks).

Because I don't want to hand over that much control over my life to a large corporation. (I run my own email server.)
