I've heard good things about Linux Mint also, and I think you can choose to have Mate as the interface to that as well.
The Thing: you can choose an interface. That's a thing that makes Linux both brilliant AND shit, because first thing going in you've got to make a decision with basically no information or context. JUST LIKE YOU DID WHEN YOU JOINED YOUR FEDI SERVER, HAHA! And you wondered why there were so many Linux weirdos here, didn'tcha!
There are three ways you can deal with this decision:
1) Spend hours meticulously researching each one because you like spending hours meticulously researching things (this explains why half of Fedi is The Way It Is)
2) Blunder on YOLO style with one that has a cool name and see whether or not you regret it later (this explains the other half of Fedi)
3) Bounce off the decision entirely because it's self-evidently an unreasonable thing to ask (this explains the world outside Fedi)
