Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Easiest Linux to work with

Definitely depends on your needs. If you're looking to get started I'd probably go with Ubuntu for a few reasons, lack of worrying about SELinux being one. Though if you go with CentOS you can certainly set SELinux to permissive, learn the OS, set up a few servers and then enforce it again and have fun fixxing what no longer works.
What will you be using it for? Just learning?

Decide what you need Linux for first. Alot of enterprise apps will be targeted at RedHat (Fedora Core) or CentOS.
Windows desktop replacement will probably be Ubuntu or RedHat.
If you have a specific app in mind, look at what they support. If you have a specific field in mind (web hosting, rendering, DB, etc) look at what is common in the industry.
If you are just starting out and want to get your feet wet, it's all experience so you probably can't go wrong.

If you are practicing to do a server in the future, find a CentOS minimum install and start from there. Great place to start and learn from command line only
I would install Ubuntu on a laptop and get comfortable installing packages from command line and just working in general from the command line as well as using Linux day to day. Then move on to installing CentOS as a server and work from there. From my experience Linux is much easier if you "wade in" instead of "dive in"
Lightweight
I dove in and did centos and it was worth it. Struggled for sure but it was a great learning experienceUbuntu or Debian, both are very good.
Ubuntu have GREAT wireless & laptop support, Debian is a little pickier on the wifi stuff..
apt -get = wicked
You're really not going to go too wrong with any of them.
However, my personal recommendation would be for Ubuntu, because it's relatively easy and there is documentation for DAYS on it for whatever you might want. Want to install dovecot? No worries, docs several blog posts. Ruby on Rails? Not a problem, several docs and blog posts detailing exactly how to get up and running.
Default file system at this point should do fine. Probably ext4.
