Hello all. I’m a Windows user, but I’d like to try out a Linux distro. I’m looking for an OS that has a similar GUI to windows and similar applications, with high compatibility with Windows programs. I was thinking of Ubuntu. Do you guys have any better suggestions? Thanks.

I’m a windows user and I’m considering switching to linux.. But I was thinking about the applications I use on windows, will they easily run on linux? will I need additional software to get them run? will they ‘all’ work? are there some kind of applications that will ‘never’ run on linux?
How about MS office and Adobe Illustrator?
Thanks
