    Hooray, a fellow Mint user!

    I'm currently running it w/ Cinnamon 18 on an old Dell ruggedized laptop that had its processor upgraded.

    When we move, I'm going to do a desktop w/ it.

    Any experience w/ Linux Mint Mate vs Cinnamon?

    There's dozens of us! Literally dozens!

    Mint Cinnamon is my first foray into the world of Linux, so I don't have any basis of comparison with Mate or other Linux flavors. There are a couple of other versions of Linux I'd like to mess around with, but I don't know if I have the time to get into them.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    Mint is a little too pretty for me...Kali and Ubuntu LTS for various tools. The laptops I get for work are expensive, which are outside the discussion here although I do encourage people to get used business class laptops over the commercial crap they see on the shelves; my home desktops just get new systemboard/proc/memory as needed.

    As far as windows; I have several licenses for it that I bought cheap on ebay. I have VMs loaded with it as well as dual boot on a few things. I need it for labs, sandboxing, and my stupid tax software. Other than that, I don't do much in it as a user. I can run most windows apps in wine.
