I've used Ubuntu before and I kinda want to try something different. How is Mint? Or ElementaryOS?
To be COMPLETELY honest dude. Install Arch Linux. Look up a simple guide based on your bios/uefi setup. Install arch, install xorg and xorg-xinit and other dependencies then install a window manager like i3 or openbox. All very easily install. You have to change a line or two in a config file, then start up your windows server and install a few programs. It's all very well documented, bug free and super comfy.
I understand of you want it all preset up though. I switched to Linux 4 days ago and I'm having a blast tbhfam

I love Mint personally. I've been using it for several months now. I prefer it over Ubuntu, but they're pretty similar to one another.

What a fucking waste of a time. Install Antergos OP
Gentoo
Dual boot is retarded in 2015
Even shit rugs can efficiently virtualize now

If you just want a different look for Ubuntu, you can login using the GNOME Flashback DE as opposed to using unity, or you can install a different DE, or try using just a WM by itself.
Of course, you could also achieve this by using a different flavor such as Xbuntu

Lmao enjoy your Arch for retards.
Use Architect so people don't know you are a pleb that can't install Arch

This is not my mantra, OP. My first post explicitly said to not do this if you're not looking for this type of experience. I'm by no means a power user but I have been into technology since before I went I went to grade school and started programming over 10 years ago. My first experiences were with Ubuntu and fedora and the insane amount of packages they include plus all of the possible hardware incompatibilities was a head ache.
I took the dive 3 days ago and installed arch to a USB and installed it using a step by step guide. Now I'm running a super light weight, functional, fast gui and aesthetic system. It's not hard if you want to learn it. I took notes and wrote down processes and key commands to help remember everything I did.
Again, don't do it if you're not super techy and you're just looking for an all in one experience. But keep in mind an OS that babies you won't let you learn. That's why the majority of Windows users don't understand how computers work.

cinnamon, but cinnamon crashes. I was told lxde mint, but lxde mint from the ISO doesn't come with wifi packages, and installing + configuring lxde to work with pulseaudio is a huge pain
I suggest Lubuntu over the other buntu's and mint

If it's a desktop use Xubuntu
Elementary OS.
It's easy as hell to use, and is visually appealing, looks very nice indeed. I recommend I use it on an old laptop for messing around. It also has no issues.
Tbh though. Linux is kinda point less unless if you have server needs or have very old PC, windows might be a botnet but at least we are all familiar with it, and is better with mostly everything, like Gaymen, and different type of apps.

I would try Linux Mint, its simple. But ElementaryOS is beautiful, fast. It is your choice OP and don't try Arch Linux.
