From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recommend Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu with all the same benefits but without the drawbacks. Mint is lighter, faster and very stable. Looks visually similar to Windows and is more complete and ready for use than Ubuntu.
Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop which is heavy on RAM and needs extensions to be really useful. Mint uses their own Cinnamon desktop and it's highly optimised, full featured and ready to go.
It also automatically makes backups of your system incase anything goes wrong.
Highly recommend.
