Which is the best linux distro for beginners?

Answer 1

As everyone else (pretty much) has said Linux Mint 18.1 is probably the best distribution for beginners. It has a very familiar feel to windows and is simply superior in terms of stability.

Also a good learning tool

Answer 3

I've seen both Ubuntu and Mint do some nasty things which breaks apps. If you want to try something which Ubuntu and Mint are based on, check out Trinity. It's a rewrite of KDE3 desktop with Debian underneath it for the OS. You may find it at: http://exegnulinux.net/downloads/wheezy/exegnulinux_4.2.iso if you dont want to play with systemd which for a beginner I don't recommend.
