I must say your wife sounds awfully patient and dedicated to your philosophical approach to software. I've gotten mine as far as accepting Ubuntu on a living room PC used for the entertainment center. But as for switching from Photoshop and Painter to Gimp and Krita, and getting drivers for the Wacom tablet to work in Linux, and the rest of the work-flows she's been using for years - that's a definite no.
