Linux for lazy b*s

I've seen all the bad ideas microsoft are building in to the core of their new OS and I think I might make the switch to linux sometime before XP becomes obsolete.

Ideally, I'm looking for a user friendly version, where I can download and install programs without having to mess with the internals and copying files around without knowing where the hell they're supposed to go.  Something RPM based would be good, but without the possible hassels that follow RPM based distros' =/

Haha, well ok. I dont really know what I'm rattling on about here.  So, any ideas of a decent distro for someone who doesn't want to get very in-depth with linux?

Windows never had the dependency "feature"
Actually it did. Don't you remember DLL hell? MS "solved" it by telling vendors to keep their dlls in their own damn directories. There are some who say Linux applications should do the same. Gobo is the distro of choice if that's what you want.

Incidentally the OP wanted suggestions on which distro to use, so your "zomg lunix sux use windows" trolling was completely unhelpful.
