I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Mint with sane update settings is better than Ubuntu with Unity

Just look at pictures/videos of Mint and *buntu distros. Then download the prettiest one.

Ubuntu has Amazon spyware. Would you trust a company that puts Amazon spyware in your OS for profit?
Go Linux Mint.

Thats why you want xubuntu, kubuntu, or lubuntu. Xubuntu seems to be the most stable though

Want to learn about loonix? Use something like redhat and compile your own kernel.

Need to get work done? Ubuntu is probably worth learning.

No time to learn? Mint.

Wife "needs" a "computer"? Mint.

Mint. Cinnamon > Unity.

Yeah, you can install Cinnamon under Ubuntu but it will suck for updates.
