Which Linux distribution is right for me ?

Windows 10 is sh** I need something useful 1)Looks and Interface * Good looks and interface is really important ,I like bit of material design . Customisation is needed. 2) Powerful * I am going to use Android Studio and other coding stuff .Some geek stuff compatible also 3) Pre-installed apps *Pre installed drivers and good daily life use apps like gallery , music player , etc. It should be usable right out of the box

I don't like Ubuntu's interface much but it seems good for a Newbie and most people are preferring it so I will try it first then later maybe some other.

Ubuntu is the friendlier as it has the widest community and tons of documentation that you WILL NEED as you are switching from windows. Once you are familiar with the OS more or less all distro are fully customizable to your liking. I Tried Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Elementary, Trisquel, and now i'm on Mint with other explorations going on on the rpi. Elementary is the most cumbersome when it comes to customization!

you should use Ubuntu because it is noob friendly and everything is available online as tutorial.

Everything that people said is true, if you're gonna need a newbie friendly OS you better install an Ubuntu flavour just for the supporting community. And about the interface, you can personalise everything so you only have to pick a Desktop Environment that you like. I recommend Ubuntu Gnome that comes with a lot of cool apps out of the box. Anything but Unity, that's just ugly.

in my opinion Linux mint is the best I have been using Linux mint 18 for quite some time and I love the interface absolute freedom of use mint is based on the Ubuntu distro the difference is that mint provides cutting edge updates the cinnamon desktop is as close to Windows 10 as you can get

you can download Linux mint and install it on a USB drive to test drive it and continue using it on your USB drive or install it as a dual boot on your computer that will allow you to take a decision without upsetting your computer installation
