If you're a beginner, use something that uses a package format that most people build for, like .deb - This includes Mint and all the Ubuntu family, and of course, Debian itself. |

+1 what Agent_24 said :thumbs: The Debian/*buntu/Mint family of distros has the largest range of packages (programs/apps) by far. On my current distro (Kubuntu 12.04) I have 40,353 available to install at the moment :clap |

Hi, after trying a lot of Linux systems I found Mint to be the best for a beginner. I would still be using it on my laptop but for some reason it caused my fan to run all the time and the CPU temperature to hit 95 degrees quite often. Not sure if this is ok but the laptop seem to be quite hot. I changed to Win 7 and don't have the heating problem.
If it wasn't for the heat, I would continue to use Mint as it was easy, stable, and fun to use. |

Might have been a bug somewhere causing high CPU usage, or maybe the CPU frequency scaler wasn't working. |
