Good question. Pity I don't know the answer.

With 8Gb of RAM you should be able to run any distro you want.

Look at: http://m.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/best-linux-distro-five-we-recommend-1090058

Look at: http://distrowatch.com/. On the right, the column marked "Page Hit Ranking".

Try "Googling": linux simple
You will find things like: https://www.linuxliteos.com/
and: http://semplice-linux.org/ (...but then semplice is Italian for simple...)

Recommended "newbie" distros are Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

I vote for Ubuntu,Mint or Zorin

I agree with Arochester and Richard, Ubuntu may be your best choice.
