“As a Linux user…”
Yeah yeah, you’re right. But can you maybe shut up about it for just a minute?

What is a good distro for an absolute noob? Like me.
Linux Mint is pretty good, it has a Windows 7 kind of feel to it. Fedora is also nice, it great for tablet, also with touch. Both work pretty well and consistently out of the box.
mint! its popular for beginners, ubuntu based, user friendly, lots of tutorials/troubleshooting help
Watch a few beginner tutorials on YouTube and see which one appeals to you most.
Mint is great for beginners. I never had any issues with it and the cinnamon desktop is very nice.
Depends a lot on use case, certainly!
Also, do you like a “bottom up” or “top down” approach? Grabbing a raspberry pi and setting up a headless (no monitor) home server is a great bottom up way of getting familiar with things — learn to configure various services and whatnot from the command line. Or, just start with a user-friendly distro with a GUI you like, and gradually work your way up to looking under the hood.
