Emmabuntüs is a desktop Linux distribution with editions based on Debian’s Stable branch with the Xfce and LXQt desktop environments.

It strives to be beginner-friendly and reasonably light on resources so that it can be used on older computers. It also includes many modern features, such as large number of pre-configured programs for everyday use, dockbar for launching applications, easy installation of non-free software and media codecs, and quick setup through automated scripts.

The latest update to our distribution adds accessibility for visually impaired people:

Ubuntu Budgie is a great option for beginners, which has a Mac OS standard desktop and excellent Community Support.

In all the Tecmint "Best Linux distros" articles over the years, PCLinuxOS has NEVER been mentioned. It is as easy to use as any of the *buntus. It is much more configurable. Its default install is not a monoblock from which no package can be uninstalled. The user community support is as good, if not better than the *buntus and it has its own monthly magazine. PCLOS does not have information-sharing agreements with any other large company (ex. Amazon). And that's just for starters!
