Too late, already on Mint.
My desktop has been running Linux for a while now, but I finally got tired enough with the repeated flops from Microslop™ that I switched my 6 year old Surface I use for surfing from the couch over to Mint.
Not looking back at this point.
If you ever distro hop on that, let me know how a touch centric distros works on it like Ubuntu touch. Was thinking of picking one up for couch browsing. RIP in peace my hackintosh Dell mini 9.
Ubuntu touch has half a foot in the grave, but keeps getting revived. Fortunately Ubuntu proper works well depending on the flavor you chose regarding your desktop manager. Same for most flavors of Linux. Mint isn't qw critical as it used to be. We are at a phase where I would say most Linux OS are beginner friendly.
