/r/ Linux info

I'm looking at getting away from Microsoft OS's, and trying one of the open source OS's.

My question is, "Which one"? I've seen many versions on the shelves, but I don't know which is better for the first time user.
So instead of browsing the magic google, I decided to try here.

"You can't expect binaries to magically appear."

Uh, yeah they will.  Assuming that most new Linux users are coming from the Windows group, that's exactly what they'll expect.
