I had the same story but 15 years ago. I was so happy with XP, but Vista was terrible, so I put Ubuntu on my laptop. When 7 came, it became my OS on my desktop. But then it was 8 time. Couldn't bare it. Now it's Linux everywhere, including my sister, parents, grand parents, girlfriend, brother.
Linux Mint is perfect for non technical people BTW. I heard good things about Zorin OS as well.
I might be starting down the path of introducing Linux to family members soon. I need to make sure I have enough spare time for the initial 'speed hump' of transition questions...

The first couple of months are high touch after the switch. After that it's usually just smooth sailing for years. Much less work support-wise.
