When I started using Linux, I didn't even choose a distro. I just started using it and it worked for me. If whatever you choose works, hardware wise and software wise, then thats it. They mostly have the same software anyway. But if it helps, someone I know wanted to move to Linux, and I put Linux Mint on his machines. Are you wanting to move completely, or dual boot? When I moved to Linux, I ran a dual boot setup, where I used Windows where I had to, and Linux for everything else. Eventually I stopped using Windows completely. ...
