@billyjoebowers On advice from the community here (I think you included) I installed Mint many months ago and I haven't looked back. It's now on my daily driver, my laptop, and my photo editing machine is a dual boot, because I just can't let go of Phoptoshop.
My 87 year old parents need a new computer and I'm thinking of sneaking it in on them. @PurpleJillybeans
