Total Linux lightweight here but I just wanted to post from my Linuxmint 15 machine. I have tried Ubuntu in the past and left impressed but ultimately tired of fighting various problems.
This is the first install where everything went without a hiccup. Everything is there for media playback,flash and internet out of the box. I bought a rosewill usb wireless adapter and when I plugged it in I was expecting some sort of driver status but instead it just notified me that wireless networks were available. Amazing!
My first experience with WINE was good but I didn't work it out very much.
Anyone have thoughts on Mint vs Manjaro vs Lite? Those are just some of the reviews I've been reading. I want to decide on a distro, back up my main rig and cut the win7 strings.
