@0therbit5 I think Debian also quite good

Debian is great on the server, but definitely an unpleasant experience on the Desktop unless you know what you're doing and why you're doing it.

I would say that Debian-based distros (Linux Mint and LMDE, preferably) are good for a newbie, too. But a clean Debian would probably be a bit too much of a hassle to set everything up, in my opinion.

Especially if he's going to be doing some gaming, I've had great luck with the Debian Sid based distro Siduction.

@Adda Agreed with your point of view
