Nathan my father has been on Linux for nearly 7yrs now. I got him off 
windows once he started using the net and picking up viruses. It was 
simple. You want my support - run an OS I'm happy to support. Since he 
wanted my support it was easy to convince him to change. Also in the 
7yrs since he's been on Ubuntu and now Arch - he's not had once piece of 
malware or virus in that 7 yrs. Mind you we've had a lot of problems 
with CUPS (I'm no expert and CUPs can be a pain).
