If you are a newby FOR GODS SAKE USE UBUNTU.

Absolutely! I actually recommend Ubuntu for people used to MacOS, and Zorin (based on Ubuntu) for those used to Windows. Start simple and learn from there.

I'm a long time Linux user 20 years or so and have tried loads of distros in that time. Eventually I got fed up and settled on Mint for quite a few years, but about 6 months ago an old colleague told me about Zorin as he was impressed with how it felt 'proper' from a user perspective. I tried it and actually liked it so much I fully switched to it as my main OS. It's got all the user friendliness for when you just want to use it for work tasks, but still everything else underneath for when you want to experiment etc.

Yes! Well said. For me it was instrumental in finally making the switch to Linux.
