    At this day and age it works pretty much as you expect it to work. I’d recommend something like ubuntu (or kubuntu if you want it to look and feel more like windows). Something that is stable and not on the bleeding edge and mainstream so you can easily Google for help if you need it. Apart from that I think you can use a gui for pretty much anything you might need.

    Little side note: the new long term support version of Ubuntu will be released this month. I’d wait for that so you have a pretty up to date version. If you need help or advice you can DM me if you like.

      Thabk you, sir. I’ll fiddle around as I ready myself. I probably need to research a bit more.

        Maybe you could try the system in live mode to get a feel. You can simply make an install USB stick and boot from that and just select the live install. This will start the system directly form the USB stick without installing anything and then you can just play around with it and get a feel. Just be aware that all changes are temporary and are not saved to the stick. Most major distributions have such a functionality.
