i'm really not a linux person but I hear unbuntu is one of the more popular Linux OS along with Red hat. Look at the below link also for a few opinions on the different OS options.

Ubuntu is a popular Linux OS (and I have an Ubuntu VM), but Windows still owns the market share of non-device Computers leaving Linux and MAC with niche percentages.

Well, I always felt that if a user were going to choose ubuntu, they might as well go whole hog and use Debian instead.  After all, ubuntu is Debian underneath; it's just that all the controls have been hidden.
I used Debian door a while, but I found that when I needed help, the speed of responses was better with Ubuntu, purely due to the larger number of users.

However, that was probably fifteen years ago or thereabouts.
