Google.com, and Distrowatch.com should help you answer that question.

After trying 113 over the years, the ones I currently recommend are
Mint: vanilla Linux — no-one seems to dislike it.
PCLinuxOS: rolling-release (continuously updated, so no new versions to switch to) and very friendly.
Salix: enterprise-class stability (the programs may not be the latest versions, but they always work perfectly) without any hassle.
plus
AntiX, for tiny vintage computers: full internet access in 128MB!
Uubutu Studio, for musicians
