Ok, only thing holding me back were games but now no excuse. Been using Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop x64 and I love it again but I don't like Unity, I used to use Mandriva (KDE) which I perfer, I just ran Mint Cinnimon and it's nice. I would like to import all software/settings from ubuntu?

I have a SSD 256GB I plan on wiping Ubuntu ansd doing 50 Mint 150/200 user data w/ encrypt and 50-100 if WIndows 8.1 is needed)

My main use is gaming (steam, wine) and mining LTC - was setting up with ubuntu.

Or another distro/DE? I want features, looks too - Ultimate looks goodd. I can VM too

Maybe try Manjaro?
It's based on Arch so it's super stable, comes with Steam installed and looks extremely nice IMO.

If the desktop environment is your only complaint, you can easily install KDE or Cinnamon on top of Ubuntu. I've been using Ubuntu+Cinnamon as my dev environment for quite a while and find it ideal.

Wouldn't bother with Manjaro. I think all they do is take Arch and snatch bits and pieces from elsewhere and put it together and claim that they've done something. :mad:

Besides, the name is crap.

Get Mint Cinnamon:
