hello

as @lexusgamer05 said linux is just a kernel that distros are based on for your system lubuntu is a good choice but if you dont like its gui there are a ton of other distros that i can suggest

Hello, welcome to the forums!

 

Linux is not an operating system, but a kernel that Linux distrobutions run on. A distrobution is an operating system based on top of the Linux Kernel. I won't go over it too much, but you can read more here.

 

I wouldn't recommend regular Ubuntu for you, as your computer isn't that fast. I would recommend something Lubuntu which is based on Ubuntu, but more optimised for weaker systems.

 

If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer them

As a new user what should i keep in mind before installing Lubuntu, any special things to note?

and Is lubuntu complicated for new user? As I always used windows 7

Lubuntu will be easy to install, and from my experience, Linux distros have always been easier to install than Windows. The installer will walk you through and explain each step for you. And of course, Lubuntu is based on Ubuntu, one of the biggest and most popular distrobutions, so support is great for it. And of course if you have any issues in the future, we're happy to help you

Manjaro, Xfce edition.
