Debian works fine. I have 12 years experience with it as a system
administrator and daily user. Before that I've used Suse 3 years.
Realize that Debian 7 is older software now, it will have some problems
on new hardware. You can fix them in many cases by using backports.
Better use Debian 8, you can download the release candidate here:
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Configuring it to work together on the same files is not really easy.
Try to find somebody with experience who can help you.
I've used many years the Gnome desktop, but I am not really happy with
it the last time. I would advice you to take a look at the Cinnamon desktop.
I have no experience with POS sofware.
