You might try Linux Mint MATE and/or Xfce (latest is in beta).
I'd recommend you read this blog entry for Linux Mint, in regards to
MATE version (for juxtaposition with Cinnamon version).

If you're wanting to learn newer ways of doing things, you'd probably
going to want to look at CentOS 7, recently updated, and/or Fedora.
You might want to look at some different *BSD variants, also. I like the
lack of bloat in OpenBSD.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but Unity is a real pig with the
ancient Intel 865G graphics. Any desktop that tries to use 3D
acceleration will be awful. I strongly suspect Fedora's
Gnome would be bad.
Is there an easy choice? Would Mint work?
The system should be self-explanatory to casual former Windows users.
