I want to try Linux especially some of the privacy distros that will keep hackers and the government from spying on you.

I dunno, I had Linux for about 10 years.

Now I’m on Windows 10. :D

Linux Mint Cinnamon. Easier than Windows 10 by a mile.

I personally prefer the RedHat family (CentOS, Fedora), although I am also comfortable with the Ubuntu family, but I generally recommend (for folks new to Linux), "Linux Mint", a flavor of Ubuntu which is very friendly to non-geeks.

Yes I have. I got tired of memory sucking Cortana. has she ever helped anybody at any time??? I lost my free Win 7 games on the UPGRADE!! I got a virus from my homepage of Yahoo! 8 days ago I stripped Win 10 off and went with Zorin. I love it. Faster. No bloat. No spying. No viruses.

Tried Ubuntu and Mint a few times - am too lazy these days for some of the necessary command line stuff and the learning curve. So many apps that we get hooked on are compatible with Windows and while Linux has replacements for many, they also require learning curve.

I would imagine the best of both worlds would be a stable Linux environment with Windows running on Virtual machine for the needed Windows apps.

Currently using Mint 17.3 and 18. Have used Fedora, slackware, and others over the past decade or so. I recommend Mint for beginners.
