I use both Mint and Ubuntu, on two separate computers. Ubuntu is great except for the Unity crap. In theory, you can run Ubuntu without Unity but I gave up trying to remove it after the first 5 hours of work. If you are getting into Linux, its important to know that if the first few sets of instructions you find on forums do not work, you will need to be an expert to solve the problem. Normally forum instructions work great, just be aware that 90% of the time is not 100%. Mint is great. Period. It does exactly what I want - to act like a 'standard windows' linux user interface without any crazy UI experiments getting in the way. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
