Linux Mint

Is it any good?. I want something windowsish (Taskbar etc) Or should I get kubuntu?. Or what other o/s?.

Thanks.

ZorinOS is as close to windows as you'll get. http://zorin-os.com/

I sort of agree with Jake. However, Linux Mint is awesome in my opinion and is one of the best Linux distros out there, for both first-time Linux users and the long time Linux users.

Thanks. 🙂

Edit: And mint has different desktop choices, this may take a while 😛<br /><br />-- 19 Mar 2013, 18:36 --<br /><br />EDIT 2: You can get a zorin theme pack for the cinammon desktop of mint.. http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/171

Mint is great, honestly. Cinnamon is wonderful. But if you want to switch easily from Windows to Linux, go with Zorin. It will make you feel at home, and then once you're more comfortable with Linux, go with Mint. Of course, you can go with Mint any time, but it might feel a bit weird at first. Great OS either way.

I use Linux Mint, and it is pretty easy to use, and you can install Ubuntu and Debian programs on Linux Mint because it is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so the Linux Mint App store has a lot of free apps for you to use.
