[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1348598, member: 215112"] Personally, I think Mint has numerous advantages over any other Linux distro: [LIST] [*]It's not Ubuntu, so it doesn't have the well-meaning, but immature "Unity" interface by default. [*]It's the fourth most popular desktop OS (after Ubuntu). [*]It's built on the Ubuntu kernel, meaning that it can access both its own software repository, [I]and[/I] the Ubuntu software repository (both being huge, due to both distro's popularity). [*]It has support for proprietary, third-party plug-ins and drivers built-in at the point of installation that - due to licencing issues - Ubuntu makes it hard or down-right impossible to install. [*]As I stated above, it (and Ubuntu, with a little more effort) is not just re-skinable, but actually re-shellable, meaning you can make it look [I]and[/I] work like any OS; including OS X.
