The obvious choice is Ubuntu. Works, is easy to use, and help is everywhere for it.

Later on, you may want to branch out to More complicated Distros, but Ubuntu (or Debian) is the easy choice.

It's so easy you can't even be smug anymore using nearly any linux distro. Damn their eyes, I worked hard in the 90's getting my linux cred. Now, grandma is using it. Time to switch to Gentoo I suppose.
