I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.

There are some similar sites to this one, but since I'm not familiar with them, I won't post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.

I've stopped giving a choice because invariably newcomers I turn onto Linux pick the distro with the default wallpaper they like the best. Even within "don't worry about distros, pick a DE" that's still meaningless advice to someone who has only seen Windows. If you want me to install Linux for you, you're getting Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. Because it's what I use, and it's what I can help you with the easiest. I can find my way around KDE or xfce but I already know my way around Cinnamon.
