Cheers! I'll make a few VM's of them (Except Debian cause i can't be arsed on a 4 hour install) to test them out

>>59624873
Ubuntu MATE or MInt MATE. Just fucking works.

This isn't even remotely representative of what the OS would function like. Why don't you live boot at least? It's the best way of checking if your hardware is compatible out of the box. Also I'd recommend one of the following:
KDE Neon
Ubuntu MATE
Linux Lite
ZorinOS
openSUSE
Fedora GNOME
Chakra Linux
Solus (if you can live with a lack of software)
Ubuntu Unity

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Just install any base and slap whatever environment you like on top of it.

Debian Jesse minimal. No X server.

arch with i3wm

>>59624873
IMHO kde neon user edition LTS, otherwise try ubuntu mate or mint cinnamon.

Taking a look at Trisquel atm
I quite like the look of it tbf

Yeah, you make a valid point.
I'll live boot them to get a feel for them all and decide which one i'm gonna use for it.
Plus, it means i'll have some good OS's to use for other machines about the house + future machines too
Cheers!
