Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • I've been using Linux Mint for years and it is one of the best distributions of Linux out there. It has a responsive, modern desktop and lightweight feel while still being very customizable.
  • I always use XFCE and Linux Mint makes it look so beautiful with well thought out colour schemes and outstanding photographic and abstract backgrounds to choose from.
  • Cons

  • Wine and other emulators gave me a hard time trying to run some essential Windows 10 software on Linux Mint.
  • Poor support for gaming. No standard edition available.

  • Pros

  • It is free, easy to install and use. Package system is just heaven and it is virus free.
  • It's very customizable and very responsive. The goal of Ubuntu team has been to create an operating system that is easy to use on desktop computers and I believe they have nailed this.
  • Cons

  • Might be difficult for new user to get familiar with installing soft-wares using command line.
  • Perhaps the most difficult part of Ubuntu is the annoying hours experienced until you get used to it. But once you get used to it, it will be very difficult to let go.
