General discussion / Re: Best os for someone new to Linux?

My two cents is to go through this free Linux Foundation course which covers intro to Debian/Red Hat/OpenSUSE and play with each to figure out what you find the most comfortable.

I learned a lot from a 5 dollar a month CentOS (you can pick other distros) VPS from somewhere like Digital Ocean setting up and hardening my own LAMP web server. Digital Ocean has a ton of tutorials for this and things like restricting root login for SSH and other sec best practices/feature set up stuff.
