Was already considering running Linux on my next machine. That just made it a definite. Is Mintos still the best choice for an everyday desktop?

Mint is a great choice, especially if you’re looking for something that resembles the classic Windows (2k to 7) desktop paradigm.

This sort of question is very much a matter of opinion, but Linux Mint is a very friendly desktop choice. It’s become my go-to for all of my desktop installs.
