If I could make a suggestion, put netrunner linux on it. It was originally made for the first all in ones as it would make their modern design look nicer. Also it is a cool and stable KDE system.
Hmm, I'll look that one up. I was thinking Ubuntu because it will be a family computer like the Large-Laptop, but I really like Mint Cinnamon as well. It has a newer AMD video card and 4 GB RAM. So it should handle just about anything.
I ended up installing Mint 17.2 Cinnamon I was going to install Ubuntu 14 but I can't. I really like it but I've been using Mint much longer and know exactly where everything is. With Ubuntu I get impatient looking for simple things I want to configure. Mint 17.2 installed perfectly! Everything works out-of-the-box: keyboard touchscreen webcam microphone Haven't had any issues yet. Started installing Wine, PlayOnLinux, Steam and my other applications.
