Ask HN: Easing wife onto Linux laptop How to?

Hey everyone, It is going to sound a little weird and if it does not belong here, let me know and I will remove the post, but I am looking for some advice. Long story short, wife requested a new laptop for upcoming event and her laptop is old and slowish by today’s standards ( nothing really wrong with it and she is not really using it for anything other than Word, Excel — to keep tabs on some bills and a browser ). I suggested SSD since that would immediately make all the perceived slowness mostly go away, but I guess it is more about having something new ( and I will inherit old lappy so no waste here ). Anyway.. the question is not about hardware, but about OS. I am trying to move her away from Windows, but she resists, because that is the only OS she knows and does not want to ‘re-learn how to do everything’. It is not completely wrong, but wasn’t there a KDE profile that basically made it look like Windows or something? I can’t seem to find it, but I could have sworn I saw discussions of Linux that looked like Windows somewhere.
