Recommend a Linux release for very, very non-specialist

Another +1 for Linux Mint here. I use the Mate desktop. The Power Menu
button on the bottom Gnome panel works similarly to the Windows Start
button, so there's a bit of familiarity right there.

I've was using Mate on Ubuntu for over a year, and Linux Mint 16 with
Mate since just before Christmas. I think I'll switch my OS to Linux
Mint Debian Edition to get the rolling release, but I'll keep the Mate
desktop. There's a refresh of LMDE to be released sometime this month,
so that's convenient timing for me.
