From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Manjaro KDE would be my pick based on my personal experience.
While I get why it's not on the recommend pile I really think a rolling release distribution is a good idea for new people. I love fedora but being forced to upgrade at least once a year is not great. And I just tried to upgrade my xps which came with native Ubuntu and it bricked the system, took me 5 hours to recover it.
