It's perfect for anyone who wants to switch from Windows with minimal hassle. There are plenty of other great distros, of course, but choosing one can be a bit overwhelming at first. That's why Mint is such an easy recommendation. It'll get you started, may well be all you ever need and once you're more into it, you'll better understand what to choose.

Exactly! I think Mint is a great choice. I wouldn't recommend anyone unfamiliar uses anything else unless they have very specific needs.
