Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it another shot though, and I have settled on one of these three. I am an absolute beginner to linux and i'm a g*mer (laugh it up), so out of these which would be better? I don't have too many preferences, I guess I would like to avoid CLI's as much as possible but it's not too much of a big deal. I could get used to it and learn the commands. If you can give a bit of advice, that'd be great and I appreciate all of you! 
Mint is always my recommendation for a Linux beginner. It's the most "it just works" distro I've ever messed with, and has plenty of documentation for anything you'd need.
As for advice: I know you want to avoid the CLI, but try to poke around in there and learn it some. Once you get used to it, you can accomplish a lot of things even faster than through GUI applications.
