May I ask what is the difference between all of these?Linux Mint 17 MATE
I'm asking because I'm going to test every suggestion I get.Its like asking which Antivirus is the best. You will not get a definite answer.
Sites like distrowatch.com might help.
Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse etc., are all good. Try each one and see which one you like.
Cinnamon, GNOME, MATE, KDE, XFCE, Unity etc., are desktop environments. Linux.org as such only creates the Linux kernels. Then there are different communities who create these desktop environments which interacts with the kernel and creates graphical UI. Watch some youtube videos on each of these desktop environments and you will see the difference. My personal favorites are Cinnamon and GNOME.May I ask what is the difference between all of these?

If you are new to Linux, then start with either Linux Mint or Ubuntu.I'm asking because I'm going to test every suggestion I get.
Then I'll pick which is best.
