I did take the plunge. A couple upgrade misadventures, but otherwise, I think I like Mint12. I like the idea of the gnome shell extensions and that you can disable them if you don't want them. Maybe it's just my laptop, but it's MUCH happier if I just stay the @#$@#$@#$ away from the nvidia driver.<br>
<br>Honestly, I just need to figure out a way to make external backups of a MariaDB database, and I think Mint will be likely to be my distro of choice for the foreseeable future.<br><br>Although I am consistent curious about Magia, Arch, and Fedora.<br>
