As a Mac user who's considering switching to Linux as a desktop OS, I gave this a go inside VMware. I sincerely hope this isn't the best Linux distro in 2016, because that was... underwhelming. Not quite a trainwreck, but still pretty bad. How is Elementary or Mint? One positive thing I can say is that they seem to have accomplished what they wanted with Wayland -- unlike earlier X-based distros I have tried out, rendering smoothness seems pretty much on par with macOS (unlike Windows, which still flickers and stutters a lot).
