Ubuntu is good. I have it on my desktop and laptop. The laptop actually came with Ubuntu preinstalled, which was cool. Mint is nice too but like said above, its still Ubuntu with some minor changes. Every so often, on my old laptop, I would try something new but here lately I haven't tried anything new due to the lack of time.
To each his own.....some love Linux, some love Winblows
The stability of *nix is phenominal, I work in a telephone switching office. The office processes millions of calls a day, amongst other duties and the system is Unix. It runs 24/7 365 days a year with no downtime. That speaks volumes to me!
