LINUX Distribution for the newbie
#2
Hi

I think that you may want to start with the base image of ubuntu. I would suggest you don't give in to the urge to install a desktop environment at first and just have fun becoming familiar with the CLI (command line). There are many good introductory series on youtube. That said, you can install a desktop environment called Mate running this command: 


Code:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/install_mate_desktop.sh

It may take a long time to install (dependently on your internet connection speed). 


This is just one of the choices you are given - you can find most of the available OS' images here.

Hope this helps.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
