I second the use of Ubuntu :)

I cannot recommend Ubuntu unless they have absolutely erased Unity and use a proper desktop environment for beginners. LXDE gives a reasonable Windows-like experience and seems like a good match for newbies.

I would recommend Ubuntu MATE Remix. It uses a renamed version of the Gnome 2 desktop environment.

Mint is pretty tolerable, too.

Xubuntu / Lubuntu, then.
