Asmi Linux is a Debian-based distribution that ships with the Xfce desktop environment and targets usability for new and experienced users. The distribution offers four predefined layout presets: Asmi Classic (single left panel), Asmi Modern (top panel with Plank dock), Like Windows (bottom panel), and Like Ubuntu (left and top panels). The Settings window opens on Theme selection at first login to encourage layout choice. The distro simplifies many Xfce configuration options to reduce newcomer overwhelm while retaining flexibility. Wallpaper management defaults to a single dark-suited image unless changed via the Change Wallpaper app, and most users will likely prefer the Windows-like layout.
Confession time: I don't give the Xfce desktop environment the attention it deserves. To date, there has been a reason for that. I tend to focus mainly on desktop environments suited for all types of users (from those with no Linux experience to those with tons of experience). The reason for this is that Xfce can often be a bit overwhelming for new users. It has a lot of configuration options... more than most average users are accustomed to.
Asmi is one such distribution. I'm not saying that Asmi offers the most elegant desktop on the market, because it doesn't. But the Debian-based Asmi does present Xfce in a way that not only makes it easier for the new user to figure out, but it also offers four different layout options, so having the desktop just as you like it doesn't require a degree in computer science to figure out.
For example, when you first log into the desktop, you are greeted by the Asmi Settings window on the Theme section, where you can select from Asmi Classic (single panel on the left), Asmi Modern (top panel with Plank dock), Like Windows (bottom panel), or Like Ubuntu (left and top panels). Each layout has its pros and cons, but I would suspect that most users will opt for the Windows-like layout.
