“It is the best all around full package available. :)”
I’ve always stuck with Ubuntu. I’m going to make a stick with Cinnamon and check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Ubuntu and Mint are the best two in my opinion. But Mint is just Ubuntu with a few improvements. That article explains it. :)
Mint comes with the Panel/Tool Bar at the bottom like Win 7. But you can right click it and move it to the top or along either side as you like. :)
I think you will like the boxed apps with Mint.
Did you give the Mint a shot yet?
