i am wanting to build a new pc but i don't have quite the money for windows yet, i am hoping to use a free linux os until i have the money for win 8. i have never used linux before and i want the interface to be similar to windows. any suggestions?

Ubuntu 12.04 is an easy Linux Distro.

So is Mint.

Debian is fine aswell but may be tricky now and then.

 

And ubuntu has official Steam support ^^

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

Ubuntu is amazing because of Steam support and a command line that has some fun stuff to it. (Nixie pixel has a video)

I am a member of the PCMasterRace. I am terribly sad to announce that I own a PeasantStation 3 Super Slim. it's in a drawer away from my glorious PC.
