Hey everyone.  
I’m completely new to Linux. I have no idea how it works or what versions or good or even why I want to use it, but I’m bored so whatever. So what would be the best version for a complete new kiddo? I don’t want something that looks and acts like Windows, I want something new. I don’t mind a challenge, but I also don’t want to be toying with it for like a week trying to get it to work and then getting all flustered and giving up.

So any suggestions my friends?
