Ubuntu is your best choice. It is supported for 5 years and you can set to
install security updates automatically. If your lady friend is not tech savvy
than why bother about updating software at all if there is pressing need for
it. Ubuntu have both free and non-free packages available often in their
repos. And if she searches for anything Linuxy Ubuntu is bound to get the
first on search results. Unity is simple to use and Ubuntu comes with a good
set of software. The more updates a system receives more surface area is there
for breakage.
Thank you Sudhir.
I will be first installing PCLinuxOS, with bfs-PAE kernel
(kde desktop) and let her play with that for a while.
If she feels it is easy to "step up to" from Windows, then
that's what she will get on her desktop.
If not, kubuntu is next in the lineup.
