The thing with Ubuntu is: Every single one of their releases since 2008 had a “I wish they’d drop this” thing.
What people want is a preconfigured Debian with newer packages and non-free Codecs.
But that’s not what Canonical wants. They use Debian as base to build off of its millions of volunteer work-hours, but very much try to commercialize and monetize their product.

Mint with default KDE would be the perfect beginner distro.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
