From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is no such things as - easiest - because this is highly subjective. The factor for how easy something is for you is based on your own knowledge, experience and will to learn and acknowledged new things.
If you are newcomer or Windows switcher you might wanna use other Distros who are similar like Windows, in that case LinuxFX maybe, it is based on Ubuntu and designed to be a clone of Windows from the GUI.
There are so many factors, it really depends. Do not make your decision up based on what nonsense on the internet is spread or what we suggest you, make it up how comfortable you are with the distro.
People can down-vote this all day, but the best and easiest is what YOU are most comfortable with. Install a VM try it our for yourself, it is the best advice you can get and the only one that makes sense.
