3. Mint

Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu Linux but aims to be more user-friendly than Ubuntu;
 a tough task considering Ubuntu’s ease-of-use. One area that Mint focuses on is improving multimedia performance. Most Linux distributions don’t include proprietary software in their releases and therefore don’t include support for many restricted multimedia formats, such as MP3. Mint makes it as easy as possible to enable this support so new users don’t have to fiddle around with codecs and drivers before they can do what they want to do. Mint also has a set of configuration tools to make managing the desktop as easy as possible. Mint is ideal for first-time Linux users.
