I can't recommend Manjaro Linux enough. It's the desktop system that got me off of Windows due to the sheer ease of installing software and maintaining a stable system, which I've done now for 2 years on 3 different boxes. I've been trying out Linux desktops since the late 90s and this is honestly the first system that didn't eat itself after an update.
