Linux Mint Cinnamon
Why?
If you search the net what distribution is recommended for beginners, the answer will be "Ubuntu".
Click me
Mint is based on Ubuntu, but looks better and supports some software-installing features from Debian (one click program installation for*.deb packages).
And (like written in the article under the link above) it's super simple to install additional drivers for your system (others won't do this so easily).
It needs 2 clicks and your password to get there.

Dude, Martin is just a beginner.
Don't tell him to use the console, maybe he'll set up a doomsday machine by accident...

Congrats your doing well with the post 
Yeah Terminal can be a bit daunting but its raw and you get to understand how it ticks unlike it hiding behind a GUI As for his doomsday machine Its ok I kept him off the scent of Kali
Have you got your finger out with the linux distro Martin??
Its easy to build a dual boot machine rather than a standalone linux machine
But then again im sure you have plenty machines lying about spare somewhere haha
My Dell Laptop is Windows 10 and Kali Linux Dual boot.
My Studio machine is Windows 10, Windows 7 and Mac OSX 10.6.8
Only my Workstation machine and Server is Windows 10 only!

Yeah I learned linux via ssh so it was all terminal based so im used to but suppose it can lead to issues using "sudo" excessively and to the detriment of security and stability haha not that I didnt personally experienced this myself with my first linux server - lol haha but that was a long time ago now
Kali I use to test networks and vulnerabilities as it comes ready with the tools I need and it is a light weight fast OS.
