I'd say better get familiar with Linux first (go with Ubuntu it's the safest choice) and then see if there are any distros that fit your needs better. If you don't have time to spend on the OS, light-weight distributions might not be well suited. Other than that, I'd say stick to what you choose and you'll be fine :-)
That said, at this point in time, I use too many OSX-related programs to go back to Linux (I was using Gentoo 2001-2005 as desktop).
- brudgers 12y agoI don't dislike Ubuntu, but I do think that Unity is enough of an odd duck as a UX that a recommendation of Ubuntu to a Linux newcomer ought to mention that it's not for everyone.
- williamle8300 12y agoYea, I'm starting to think that Ubuntu is the best route (at least for my foray into Linux). Thanks atmosx.
