Why Linux Users Should Try Ubuntu First
If I had a penny for every seasoned Linux user whose eyes are currently bulging in anger at this title, I would have… still not much money, considering the poor level of web traffic this blog gets.

Below are some reasons why Ubuntu should generally be the distro that new Linux users try first.
Popularity
Large number of users, especially new users
Ubuntu’s community is unlike many other Linux distributions in the sense that it is so much larger than the communities of other distributions. Ubuntu’s community is also unusual in the sense that a good chunk of it is made up of converted Windows users.

Ubuntu can supply large masses of those recent-Linux-converts.
