Last weekend I talked my wife into trying Linux on her desktop on an extra SSD I had, she loves it. Loves that she can customize everything, says it's faster (especially boot time), we put it on her laptop last night

What distro did you go with? My friend is showing intrest in trying Linux but I'm not sure what to recommend him. I use more advanced distros myself but I want it to work well for him OOtB while also not requiring any tinkering. I'm think of either some ubuntu-flavour or fork, like Kubuntu or maybe Mint.

Can't go wrong with mint, I've been using it for years.
