I tried Ubuntu on a computer but I refuse to use it as long as it has GOOGLE on the start page. I can't get rid of GOOGLE or Ubuntu and I refuse to have anything GOOGLE related on my computer...So I unplugged it and set it aside until I figure out how to get them off my hard drive.

BTW, The entire Ubuntu look is depressing.

Yeah—that’s one reason I don’t like it. I prefer Fedora (but that is probably not a good beginner’s distro).

You can change your startpage. Mine is DuckDuckGo

Try Linux Mint. It is based on Debian Linux just like Ubuntu and they are very similar under the covers. I have used both and prefer Linux Mint.

What is depressing about it? I use any picture I want as a desktop wallpaper and there is a thin bar at the top of the screen. The sidebar whatever-its-called stays hidden unless I move the cursor over there.
