That’s the beauty of Linux - to each his own! Vive la difference!
Indeed. While I like Ubuntu, with Unity, my friend prefers Linux Mint. With some research, users can find a flavor they prefer.
Zorin and Zorin Lite are also nice distros for the Linux beginner as I have installed for a few looking to change. Zorin Lite is good for older computers that are lighter on hardware but still able to be used for basic computing, web browsing. I’ve tried many different distros and there are many good ones out there and it just comes down to personal preference.
