I use Xubuntu on this laptop, but I'm planning to move back to Mint. It's the one I recommend to people who are willing to leave Windows but are afraid that Linux will ruin their life.

Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to ease of use, and some people don't mind spending an hour or two (or more) trying to figure out why something isn't working the way they think it should.

Personally that's not what I look for in a distro; if I wanted a learning experience, I think I would install Arch or Gentoo on one of the laptops I don't use, but when I just want to watch a youtube video I don't want anything to stand in my way, especially my own machine.
