The last few New Linux-Users that I have met, have all sworn that their distribution would be the best for a New Linux-User. They did not get down to the ultimate BEST EVER (probably don't know how to use YouTube) but I believe it is a question of need and dedication. Me for example..: I always forget immediately the name of the distribution that they talk about; I do not need to know and must absolutely water my carrots this afternoon!

Try anything, stick with what you like. And is this really such a big deal...
