Windows fanbois are the idiots, not regular Windows users

    I always recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to people new to Linux.

    There are a few with more than one desktop preinstalled but it's not a good idea: you end up with a mishmash of applications.

    To emulate Windows you could try Bottles. It uses wine as a backend and comes with 2 presets for programs and modern games. If you want a full virtual machine you can try Boxes.

    Mint comes with libre office, it's got spell checking and opens simple MS Word files.
