    I tend to recommend Linux Mint, it’s pretty easy to grasp for noobs (i’ve installed on two of my family’s laptops, no complaints). Zorin OS also seems nice.
    You can “flash” the installation disks onto a USB drive and boot from it to test it out without actually installing it. It’ll be slower but you’ll get to test-drive it.

      Yes, mint is where i think im going to start, with the usb load to try it out. I had planned to do this last year, but upheaval in the living situation had me put of off, and im now on week 2 of no home internet, thanks alot crazy winter storms.

      Thanks for the advice.
