Any advice on what Lunix version to use for a beginner transitioning from Windows to Lunix?

Uhh....you are referring to Linux right? I don't even think LUnix with run on any system that will run Windows.
Assuming you are referring to Linux, then I would recommend trying out a distribution such as Debian or Ubuntu to get started. When you get accustomed to it and the shell interface, then try checking out more powerful and raw distributions such as Arch or RHEL.
Although if you're an absolute beginner and have no clue on anything other than Windows, you could always Install Gentoo.
Hope this helps!

I'd try something like Debian. Though learning things the hard way can be good as well. Try firing up Arch or something simillar in a VM and try screwing around with it. After that you can see what Linux distro you like.

LUnix was made to run on the Commodore 64, and 128. It can be ported to other systems with the 6502, or 6510, but there is currently no preexisting port.
You can't port it to x86, as it is made in 6502 assembly. You may be able to create a minimal OS with a C64 emulator, but you can't run it natively.
You are probably looking for a "Linux" distribution. For beginners, I recommend Debian net-install. The net-install disc will boot into a text-based installer, and leaves you with a cli. It makes you learn everything that you need to know, without being too hard, as Debian is a pretty easy distro.
If you don't like that idea, you should probably go with Manjaro. It has everything set up for you, with a GUI frontend to a package manager. It's as easy as, or easier than Windows.
If Manjaro is too set-up for you, you should try Antergos. It is similar to Manjaro, as they are both pre-set-up Arch versions, but it is less "bloated" than Manjaro, and you get to do a bit more yourself.
My advice for getting started: Figure out how to use a search engine. I don't mean going to google.com and typing "How to use Linux". I mean, learn to use a search engine well, and learn how to find what you are looking for.
I recommend http://duckduckgo.com as a good search engine.

If you're looking for a gradual transition across a couple of distros, I'd recommend either Mint or Ubuntu to start, then RHEL/CentOS, then Arch (or Gentoo, if you're up for the challenge).
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

Thanks for all the advice I appreciate it, and my bad for butchering the spelling. I've got a lot more things to take into consideration now which is great.
And thank you for directing me to DuckDuckGo I just started using it and I'm liking it.
Again, thank you all. If you have anymore tips feel free to lay them on me aswell.
