Hi everyone — I have only the most casual Linux experience, and a Surface Pro 3 (low specs, 128gb HD and likely 4gb ram) running Windows 10 that I’m really not doing anything with. I would like to install a stable, easy to use version of Linux on it. I don’t really want to get into command line stuff, and plan on using it mostly for web browsing and LibreOffice/OpenOffice type stuff. I have heard good things about Mint, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m running this model with more storage and I believe better ram and it runs fedora so well :) used it since high school until PhD. Fedora is easy and great but mint is often recommended for beginners. That said I did start with fedora.
