Yep. I’m in the process of migrating the family over to Mint.
It’s been pretty seamless, and folks are loving that it just works.

The only problem I had with configuring Mint was with getting Bluetooth to work properly (I have a set of Bluetooth headphones that I use so as to not subject family to the sounds of Talk Radio constantly).
There are a bunch of neat toys to install (by the way):
gpodder — allows me to automatically download and manage Levin podcasts (as well as others).
radiotray — nice and simple way to listen to Internet radio. Lightweight and simple.
copyq — a FANTASTIC clipboard manager that allows for tabbed storage of clips (so you can keep your ping list readily available, for example), as well as editing clips.
There are others, but those are the ones I use the most.
If Microsoft would make a Linux version of Office Pro that worked seamlessly with Exchange, I wouldn’t have to dual boot. I hate virtual machine software.
