Linux: so what flavor of mint do I want?
Ive been running Mint for a very long time now. For the most part I run Cinnamon. It is the most customizable, and has the most features. The latest version of Cinnamon has been a bit more buggy for me. Mainly with some of the programs I use.
For this reason I've switched a couple of my machines over to Mate for testing. It has annoyances as well too for me especially if you use multiple monitors. Mate is lighter on resources than Cinnamon.
It's been a long time since I've tried XFCE, from what I remember it was a bit too stripped down for me. However manageable if you have a need for a really lightweight distro.
Overall I would recommend Cinnamon if your machine handles it fine. When I say buggy, it's really not bad. I've had some annoyances, but it's been my primary OS for a long time.
