My first Linux was Ubuntu 13.10. Then I tried Mint. Then Zorin, Ubuntu Mate, LXLE, Solus, MX, Manjaro, Deepin, elementary, Fedora, Ubuntu Budgie, and some others I can't remember. Currently, I have Linux Lite on one drive, Windows 7 on another, and True OS (BSD) on another. Another computer has Windows 7 Pro but that is my music machine. My wife has W7 on a Dell laptop (both of my computers are desktops). and we have an old Gateway with windows 98 that never gets used and was never online.
Many of the above systems are not stable on my Gateway GT5656. Manjaro and any of the Ubuntus work well, besides Linux Lite. Zorin and Solus I really liked, but they always break down on me. Mint just bores me for some reason. I settled on Linux Lite because of the stability, intuitiveness and easy transition from Windows. This is important because I want to put Linux on my wife's laptop as a dual boot. I think LL will be easy for her to learn. And I will have exactly the same thing on mine, so I'll be able to take care of hers more easily. I'm hoping my distro-hopping days are over, at least for awhile. The BSD I just fool around with. You can learn a lot about computers with it. It's a unix system, kind of in-between unix and linux. Many of the commands are the same. But it's a challenge, no doubt about it.
