I have a bunch of disconnected thoughts

  • distrowatch.com

  • Trisquel if you are very strict about freedom. You might need to change a wireless card or other hardware.

  • Just pick one and get started. Don't overthink it. Ignore anyone (like /u/NewMemba) who tries to sell.you a One True Religion argument. quot homines, tot sententiae

  • Mint is very friendly, and is the most popular

  • Zorin is also very friendly

  • Definitely Qubes if security is your priority

  • If you've used Ubuntu, you'll be familiar with it, which is an advantage. They had a controversy including Amazon products in their search results, but that was temporary and has been resolved, so ignore anyone who's still butthurt about it.

  • If you're using a cheap or old computer (under 4GB or RAM), you'll need a lightweight distro. You probably don't have to go as light as Puppy Linux, but something like Lubuntu or Xubuntu
