Re Brian's comment about the Ubuntu Desktop: the default desktop, called "Unity", is based on large icons. I don't know anyone who likes it, but you can change it very easily to "Classic view" which uses simple menus and is very intuitive, so you don't have to use a different version of Linux just to get a good desktop.
The Ubuntu desktop can be changed only after installation, but I'm confident you'll prefer Classic View. And I feel that there is more help available for Ubuntu than other flavours.
