Which Linux version
Thaddy:
Yes, but you want a GUI and I don't care much about that, since 80% of my programming is server related and have little to do with component style programming anyway.
So your choice also depends on what you want to do with Linux.

Doesn't matter. Distro is not a relevant discriminator unless you use distro supplied packages (but don't, they're often behind the latest release). I got Lazarus installed at least in 3 different distros:
* Ubuntu on Chromebook
* KDE Neon
* Manjaro (my main machine)All three works just fine, I'm quite experienced in *buntu family as well as ArchLinux (derivatives).
Hansvb:
Too many versions to choose :D. I saw that you can play around with it while it is on a usb without installing. Must be slow but that seems like a good option.

That sounds good. Have been using all 3 under Windows for a few years.

It took me about 2 hours to make Mint Cinnamon use the native resolution of my display.
I do not remember having such troubles with Xubuntu and Lubuntu, but they used to selfdestruct too often.
And booting the Mint takes about a century.
And bear in mind, *nix handles file systems as case sensitive, except partially FAT.
I have found no cure so far.
