As someone whose desktop needs are pretty simple, I agree with this assessment. If you want a *nix that&#x27;s point-and-click configurable, looks nice, makes it easy to install software, and generally doesn&#x27;t get in your way, Mint is definitely the way to go. I&#x27;ve tried all the popular distros, from (X&#x2F;K)ubuntu, to Debian, to Fedora, to Arch and others, and I inevitably keep coming back to Mint. Just my 2 cents.
