I stopped using Ubuntu when they started that crappy Unity interface. It’s unusable.

That's when I switched over to Kubuntu, but some of my friends really like Mint. I'm not one of the Linux power users that need Earth's smallest kernel, so whatever "bloat" *ubuntu adds has never really bothered me as most of what I need "just works".
Do you use a different Linux distro or did you just go OS X?

I run Xubuntu in a VM. It feels more Windows like without Microsoft’s crud or Unity’s interface.

The latest KDE 5 seems very flaky on my laptop, so I've settled on Ubuntu MATE. I've had better success with KDE on my desktop PC, but at this point I'm undecided whether to stick with it or jump ship to MATE on that system, too.

I use the Mate desktop, whether I’m installing Mint or Ubuntu.
