What distro should I use? I've only used Windows in the past, but for my next PC I'd like to make the switch.

Mint or Ubuntu is good for a beginner.
Fedora and openSUSE are other options, but if you have problems in Ubuntu or Mint (which is based on Ubuntu) it's very easy to find solutions since so many people use it and likely had the same problem.
mint is install & go
ubuntu is install & install privative shit & go
debian is install & configure things & go
arch is configure & configure & is it installed yet? & broke
go for mint, xfce if your pc is not very strong, cinnamon (default) if it is
Keep in mind that Mint has had security issues lately, SK of you care about that, you should make sure to check the hash of the ISO.

Techrepublic wditing about linux sounds like kotaku writing about white men
1 Yes. I switched from Debian to Ubuntu and XFCE4, custom install. It works a lot better.
2. Not common at all. And I can understand that. Windows is pretty good OS. But I only use it when I need MS Office applications like Excel or Access.
