What I would do - would be to install Debian. YMMV


Why Debian over the others, say Ubuntu?


Because Debian might have an interface you can use.

Ubuntu has something that looks like Metro interface.

I feel a little nausea, when I see these icons on the left.


So install a different desktop environment. Unlike Windows 8, where you have
no alternative to the tile interface, Linux lets you install dozens of
different desktop environments.

On my computer at work I have Ubuntu running the Xfce desktop environment. No
problem.


And you dont have to contend with bugs with MS cant fix that go back
Windows 3.1 or NSA back doors!
