I started with Mint and then moved on. Honestly I think Debian based ones are not nearly as good as Redhat or Arch based. You can get easy to use versions such as Fedora or Manjaro without being a headache at all, and their systems are superior to PPAs (which in itself is far superior to windows updating). Obviously my opinion is not the end all, but I highly recommend branching out a bit and trying things with the different base systems. I thought Debian was the bees knees, then tried the others and really haven’t looked back.
