centos, mint, ubuntu, etc are all good. Install OpenOffice for your docs, spreadsheets, etc. Install your favorite browser, and you should be 90% set depending on what you need to do. There is HUGE community support as well. I remember a former CEO proclaimed in 2009 or so that Linux and UNIX were dead. He did not last long. LOL I would recommend taking a basic Linux course and learn basic terminal commands. Oh, and never run the command rm -rf /
