Been meaning to try Mint. I tried Redhat years ago because Linux sounded great in principle, but it was WAY harder than I could handle, and the best I could do was follow a step-by-step to set up a firewall.
Did Ubuntu after that and quickly scrapped all Windows in my house and went pure Ubuntu on everything (gf kept her lappy Win, bc her workplace required it).
Spent 13 years w/o a personal computer.
Back now, & I like the latest Ubuntu's still, but I do need to shop around.
