    I'd recommend Ubuntu. It's very user friendly and has the look and feel of windows but still has the power of linux if you want to delve deeper.

    I agree with vertex Ubuntu is good
    Softaculous - Auto Installer for cPanel, Direct Admin, InterWorx, Plesk, ISP System
    The only Auto Installer that installs 220+ scripts. Install in just ONE STEP!
    Softaculous Virtualizor - The Next Generation VPS Panel
    Softaculous AMPPS - WAMP Stack with Perl and Python

    Linux Mint is also worth a look. Why not try a few and see which you like best. Choosing a Linux distro can be quite a personal thing

    Ubuntu or Fedora would be my recommendation. Both have really good communities for support.
