No that sounds like a huge pain in the ass and I've never met someone that wanted to switch to Linux and wait a few days or more for a recommendation
That's a good point. I'm asking because I'm visiting my sister next week. I'll be installing and demoing it myself, and she's a windows power user, so I have flexibility. All that given, I wanted to set her up on something she'd "enjoy using". Hence the distrohopping.
Just bring a USB and try a few distros that have a live environment; I think they pretty much all do.
