I first tried to use Ubuntu as it is a kind of general distro. But I have problems as it was not running smoothly so I had to switch to a couple of distros, after Ubuntu I switched to Elementry but the problem was same so I then finally switched to KDE Neon Plasma as its UI is very simple and it is very lightweight as compared to the other distros the only draw-back is that it does not come with any pre-installed software so you would have to put some effort to install Libre Office and some other basic software but it totally depends on the user.

I use KDE Neon. It's easy enough to add PPAs for apps that aren't in the repos, such as the latest Libre office
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
Or you can use the Built-in software Installer and That is a bit slow but you get your work done easily.
Yes, that is nice, but the simpler way is to use the Discover (pre-installed) application manager in order to install the applications in an easy way.
