I've been a Windows user since forever, and now I need Linux to create an application using Mono. Which Linux distribution is best for me? I will use it in a virtual machine.

MX Linux is our first choice, if you want to want to start learning Linux or just need a system for day-to-day use but on Virtualbox virtual machine. It is a midweight Linux distro that provides a nice performance without putting a load on your host system.
All 32-bit and 64-bit distros work in a virtual machine. However, you cannot run Linux distros for ARM architecture (such as the Raspberry Pi) in VMware.
Mono is primarily written on and tested on openSUSE. The packages we release are for openSUSE. In fact, we release a VMWare Image of openSUSE with the new version of Mono all set up and ready to go:

Having said that, we have a great community of people who work to ensure Mono runs well and is packaged on all the major distributions, such as Fedora and Ubuntu.
