Linux Mint Cinnamon all the way for me since Windows XP's EOL. After reading how to install Arch Linux, I see why they say it is difficult to install. Installation of Linux Mint Cinnamon is a snap. Download the Linux Mint Cinnamon iso file. Make a bookable USB with it. When It boots from the USB iso, it is running Linux Mint. Follow the instructions on the screen and fill in the blanks and Voila! it is installed. No command line instructions involved.

Yep... And what I found with other Distros is that I ended up needing to download and install many of those programs and new dependencies that already come packaged with the Cinnamon bundle all compatible with each other tested and working correctly anyhow.

Everyone keeps harping on the term “light” when a full Cinnamon package is only 2 gigs anyhow. Why worry so much about a “lighter” version than cinnamon when Win 10 is 18 gigs. Compared to Win 10 even the full enchilada cinnamon is “extremely light”.
