>>5465960If you are relatively new to linux best is to start with ether mint (mint's gnome-fork cinnamon desktop is easier to get used to if you come from windows) or ubuntu (which defaults to unity).
Both run just fine and besides the default desktop environment the differences are rather small.
You aren't restricted to using those desktop environments though, altough if you have a preference for one of those its best to pick the distro that supplies it.
I just use gnome on ubuntu, but you can just as easily install kde, xfce, fluxbox, openbox etc etc
