You should give Ubuntu Linux a try! You can burn a LiveCD and test drive it without installing it!

@446,665 (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

@OP
Also what if the people taking your old laptops are using the cat hair to build a cloned voodoo cat, which will be a chimera of all your previous cats?

Cloned voodoo cat zombies are notoriously picky eaters. I would recommend she stock up on brain flavored Friskies just in case.

@455,781 (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)They are, in fact, allergic to everything, including their own allergies. When they have an allergy attack, it gets exponentially worse until the all the particles in the cat's body explode and open a gate to communicate with Papa Legba. Voodoo cats are weird that way.
