Try ubuntu, it is very similar to windows, and needs no learning or expertice.

if you like creative stuff look up ubuntu

what these guys said ubuntu makes it super self explanitory i learned my linux backwards n forwads just by snooping around it for a couple days its real easy tp figure out

I dabbled with it over the course of a few years. Then one day I decided: "I'm going all the way!". I reformatted my hard drive and installed Linux (Open Suse). Nothing else. My laptop was stubborn and a lot of the hardware was not supported directly out of the box. But I kept pushing, not only to make it work, but to know why. After 3 months I felt very comfortable, and was even doing a lot of more complex stuff. . I believe that the best way to learn something is to immerse yourself in it and give yourself no other option. It gets frustrating at times, but it feels great once you've figured it out.

Forget the GUI. The glory in running any flavor of 'nix is in mastering the art and beauty of the command line. Seriously. Suppose you had a process that was spawning "rampantbitch" processes every few seconds and you needed to kill them. You could left click some lame GUI one by one.....or you could type: "ps -ef |grep [r]ampantbitch |awk '{print $2}' |xargs kill" and kill them all in one fell swoop. The true beauty of unix-like systems is in the command line and realizing it's absolute power over any gui. Take the statement: ":(){ :| : & };:" It's a fork bomb...and pure art at it's finest...beautifully simplistic, Read the wiki page on fork bombs to understand it's eloquence. suppose a filesystem is full and you need to find the offenders....how about: "du -kax ./ |sort -n -k1,1" to walk only the currently mounted filesystem and show all files in order from smallest to largest? There is SO much you can do on command line....the main reason to run a gui is to have multiple shell windows open. do a "dir /?" on 'doze to see the whopping 12 options available to you. Take the equivalent command in 'nix....and do a "man ls", and see the 17 PAGES of man pages filled with options ready for you to pipe, sort, and filter via regular expressions into more commands to refine *exactly* and *only* the info you need. unix is beautiful....but you will never grasp it form a GUI.
