I've been choosing Xubuntu for the following reasons: - It's based on Ubuntu - It runs better on old machines than Unity or Genome Ubuntu "flavors" - I can easily customize the TaskBar/Dock/"Start Menu" to feel like Windows or Mac OS depending where the user is migrating from. I've seen some friends go with Manjaro or Mint, but I think they both end up raising more "support" questions than Xubuntu (I have no examples at mind now to substantiate why though) PS: If the user is migrating from Win XP also consider Lubuntu

Xubuntu is my distro of choice, for those reasons. One cannot understate the usefulness of the Ubuntu base; it makes the whole ecosystem that much more useful and maintainable. I even use it on newer machines, just for the speed. I switched to Mint for a while, but when I tried Xubuntu again, they were using wisker-menu by default. So I mapped the windows key to it, so I could press it and start typing names of programs, just like Windows (a UI feature they nailed).
