Hell yeah! I haven't tried Mint in awhile, it was my first foray into a Linux distro and I wasn't quite ready at the time, mostly because gaming on Linux wasn't where I needed it to be. It sure was a beautiful distro though!
I love that Linux has taught me how to debug programs and since open source is more common in Linux environments, if there's a problem then I can fix it myself rather than waiting for the developers to patch it.
Oh yeah, and PC Express and all the groceries stores are such bullshit! Galen Weston... heads (of lettuce probably) will roll!
