I'm planning on changing to Linux From Windows 7 and I'm trying to figure out what Distro to use.

I'm considering Linux Mint because of how it looks and feels. (I tried it out on a friend's Virtual Machine)

And Linux Lite because I have a old computer that wasn't meant for much but office work and is now 5 or so years old.

Any recommendations?

Xubuntu - it has a quite light-weight user interface and all the might of Ubuntu software repositories! It's my distribution of choice at work and it's just great, very reliable.

Alright. I'll check it out. Thanks!

edit: I think I'm settling on Manjaro. Does anyone have any opinions on it?

Manjaro is great but for people less experienced with Linux in general, it's a bit overcomplicated. Here is a link to a thread on Linux distros,

Ubuntu with the SUSE ui is my go-to choice for distros.  Ubuntu is great, stable, and has alot of software for it.  And SUSE (I think thats the UI name) is very powerful compared to gnome.
