Try Mint,
     its an Ubuntu derivative that has all the Extra,s (codecs,dvd software etc,etc) included.
Another good one worth trying is PCLinuxOS,currently in the middle of a big update to the latest core parts of the Operating system.

I switched to LInux about 5 years ago,didnt like the boring blank blue screens,and stupid amounts of crap that Windows seems to attract.
Even changing the appearance was a major pain in the butt.

As long as your not heavily into games and such then Linux easily does everything else--for nowt. Though you are free to make a contribution to the maintainer of the variant you use.

Don't forget, supported versions of Linux are way, way, way more expensive than Windows - hence an awful lot of companies are dumping it for Windows Server.
