I’ve used Linux Mint on my laptop for 5 years and use Windoze only for programs that I absolutely cannot find on Linux. If it requires a reboot, it is done in 2 minutes. NO 45 minute reboot and updates.

Same here. Kubuntu is my daily driver. dual boot alongside Win 7 Pro which is not allowed to connect and has updates turned off. Tuns like the day I installed it. So does Kubuntu for that matter but it gets regular updates. Speaking if which.

Really like how well Linux Mint Cinnamon runs on $30 Chrome boxes from eBay. Just wish I could get VNC to work with Cinnamon vs just xfce,

My first Mint 18.3 install is 6 years old and still problem free. And I have never updated it once... :)

I have a 5 year old Linux Mint Toshiba laptop, i-3. It had a regular laptop hard drive. Recently, I replaced that HD with a 500MB Solid State drive. I am running Mint 20.3. When I need to reboot, it loads in about 12-15 seconds. The old drive took at least a full minute or more.
Solid State drives are the way to go anymore. I paid around $50 for the one I use in the Toshiba laptop.
I haven't upgraded to Mint 21. I have read that some are having trouble with it. I will reconsider when Mint 21.1 comes out.
