Yeah agreed. You've replied to all these comments basically saying its not exactly what your looking for but when it comes down to it you can probably make your linux desktop look however you want if you put some time into it. That's really your answer right there, OP. Customize it yourself, I'm sure you can fine tons of guides online.
If you don't want to do that then just use OSX?
Sounds like fun, but won't the quality be fairly bad?
I get that but maybe put those keywords as examples of things you do. I'd imagine you want to take any design work possible so at least make sure you have an easy process to make inquiries. Also your pages are basically the same which just strikes me as kind of weird.
Second on the website. I mean no offence, but the current design of the website would cause me to never hire your girlfriend. The logo font is pretty bad and the design is too wide. Make it really simple and responsive.
I'd recommend doing away with the categories that you design for and just include a page with sample work basically a portfolio.
If someone is looking for a graphic designer they are going to be turned off if your website looks pretty bad :( The logo also needs some work if you expect someone to pay you to design a logo.

Its not just about the feature set, its about using whats familiar for a lot of the "average" consumer.
I mean its easy to make a nice interface for people who just browse and such. But it becomes a problem when people go: "Oh so does it have Word and all my other office products?"
Open office and etc are all pretty poor replacements.
Meh, I doubt it. Vendors can complain all they want but the average consumer is sure as hell not going to switch to linux. And if they wanted to switch to OSX then they probably have already bought a Mac.
Everyone else wants Windows because they are used to it and it runs all their programs.
If you have some solid technical skills that you can put on a resume and "prove" in any way(experience, project you've coded, open source patches, etc) you can easily get a well paying internship. 20+ /hour easy.
This is actually pretty cool! Nice work.
I don't have any clue about launching but I'd try posting to popular sites and maybe see if some tech sites will cover it.
