Cinnamon mint 17.3 here. Love it.
Linux is an odd thing. I had to ask a few IT friends which flavor to choose. Mint is very XP-like. I love it and use only Linux for online shopping or banking.

I think the best thing about Linux is it runs better on half the hardware than windows. For example I cobbled together my Linux box from spare parts. It only has a single 64bit CPU yet runs better than windoze on a dual CPU.

It does most of what I need.

Writing this from Cinnamon Mint "Sylvia" 18.3 64-bit Long Time Support until April 2021 according to specs. Using 18 since it was introduced over 2 years ago.

Side-by-side with Win7Pro on the same CPU in a Dell box, using verizon speed test, this Linux box uploads/downloads twice as fast as the Win7Pro box. My IT friend says it's because of Win7's overhead.

FWIW

I've seen some Anroid pads and they are pretty impressive.
