Whilst I concur with your thoughts regarding the confusing choice of linux flavours, I can truly say that LL has been a real saviour for this complete newbie. The forum is/has been a welcome ally. With any new OS or software there is a learning curve.
With linux you are not forced to upgrade equipment at the whim of the market. Once you have all your hardware bedded in, the job is done; until something falters with old age or YOU choose to upgrade. It might be that you may have to change you printer or scanner, but that is a once only cost, a worthwhile investment to be free of the spirally hardware treadmill. FWIW
