pretty impressed with mint 15

[emu]

decided to finally have a dabble with linux properly and accidentally wiped my windows 8 install totally while installing mint

cant see me going back now

everything is working a treat out of the box

using the cinammon desktop and had a quick play with kde and liked that as well

anyone else made the switch over ?

this whole guide is very well written as well

I too was quite impressed with Mint... until I installed the latest version of Kubuntu (13.10)!

A very professional looking product (imho!) and well worth a look, if anyone has either the time or the inclination to do so!

going to try kubuntu out today

is it kde desktop? the only thing i dont like on kde is the start menu , seems to take a few extra clicks to get where you want

Yes, the 'k' is the clue!

Personally I like the interface, but others (obviously!) will have different views and opinions.

That is one of the beauties, and also perhaps one of the disadvantages of Linux 'distros', as there are so many options you can try, but the most popular ones are usually so for good reason.

a simple right click and switch to classic menu and sorted

after trying about 10 different distros i have finally settled on ubuntu 13.10 with the cairo dock installed

for me its been the most stable out of all the distros i have tried

can put a screenshot up later of my setup if anyone is interested?
