Thank you. I have heard that, and I'm interested in switch my home computer and "Netflix and YouTube on the tv" computer over.

Any recommendations on where to start with that?

I used Linux as a 11 year old back in.... Late 90's? And it was not user friendly but I was so cool it didn't matter....

Until I couldn't get a game other than Quake 2 running on my lan network.

Haven't checked on it since but I'm overdue and ready.

    You were a good 10 years ahead of me. I was using AOL and Netscape on a 386 Pentium back then. I started on Ubuntu, but I dislike Canonical who makes it. Therefore, I would try Linux Mint. It is a Debian distribution. It is good out of box. At this point I would give it to a grandma. If you want to be cool again, there is still Arch and stuff like that, but I have that and maintaining it gets old sometimes because custom built things break more during updates. Linux Mint or Fedora. I also hear good things about OpenSuse but never tried it.
