Just remember, never use or recommend Debian-family(Ubuntu/Mint) or you will be back to windows. Do not fall for the marketing term Stable, which means outdated and contains bugs that are fixed.
Fedora is my recommendation. I remind people Fedora is not Arch. Fedora is a consumer grade OS that is so good, I don't lump it in with the word Linux.
