Started using Linux in December, it's all I used. eOS was one of my first distros - I liked the default setup/themes, some of the window manager's functions, and the clean feel.

Now that I know more and I've done some distro hopping, I would not install that distro. It's quite buggy, programs/packages are wayy wayy outdated. If you like the look and feel, you can achieve that with a few simple customizations on any other distro.

I would recommend you to install Xubuntu 15.10 and "sudo apt-get install plank" (installs the same dock program that eOS uses).

If you want to check out some more modern heavyweight DEs, install vanilla Ubuntu 15.10 with Unity, Fedora 23 Workstation, or Fedora 23 KDE Plasma spin.

Very buggy and unstable.

And the reason I recommend these distros is because they're well supported by corporate and a large userbase, and they come with good defaults ootb. Yes you can be productive with Arch, Gentoo, Void or whatever, but if you want to install and get right to it, especially if you don't have much experience with Linux, these distros will do really well for you.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
