I've heard good things about Mint.
Could you tell me what you like about it?
Idk if I should use a different distro.

funtoo with plasma 5

Ubuntu 14.04. I actually like unity. Removing amazon is easy, too.
I've used debian, fedora, opensuse, centos, and mint, but Ubuntu is my favorite OS to use at home.
>>
Currently using Manjaro as it had been a while since I used Linux when I installed it and I wanted to reacquaint myself with the basics.
Getting an ssd next week and wondering if I should just stick on Arch or should I attempt my first gentoo install, if only to see how it is. Any advice, /g/entlemen?

Well other than having dbo drivers issues/conflicts and it just werks?

Cinnamon (their default DE)bis relatively lightweight, looks good while being functional, and is almost Windows like in its use and simplicity. Based on Ubuntu 14.04 I think? So dependable, good selection of packages and if you've used an buntu, it and all the terminal commands will be familiar.

After having tried Ubuntu Unity, KDE, and Debian, I landed and stuck with Mint. Been using since Mint 15.

Have also installed it on a few laptops for friends/family who werent windows dependant. No complaints from any of them. Some claim it is bloated because of all the pre-installed software they give you, but that is just a matter of un-installing the stuff you dont want.

/g/ shits on it because of the "just werks" and simplicity but I love it.

Having no* driver issues. Fat fingered whoops.
>>
Arch, id use Gentoo if it wasnt so damn unecesarily complicated to use.
>>
I use what works for the job i need done. For my home server I use CentOS. For my desktop I don't use Linux because I have better things to do than try to impress /g/ with my minimalist anime desktop.
>>
>>52129427
Haha. Fair enough.
>>
xubuntu because its just werks
>>
>>52128977
After an install that became a personal challenge. I hated arch after using pacman. I love it.
>>
>>52128859
Gentoo with fvwm when I'm running X. (only really useful for firefox and mupdf since I keep everything in a tmux session anyway)
