I use OpenSUSE and xfce; an XP user would be quite at home with it. But neither lxde nor xfce is the default with SUSE - KDE or Gnome is, and KDE is very fancy and requires a more powerful machine. It's why I said a newbie would need help with the install. And it's the installation which often causes problems to a beginner - minor problems or unfamiliar terminology can cause them to give up.
I've never used Ubuntu or Mint so can't comment on their installers.
