From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint with Cinnamon is my daily driver on my desktop and laptop for almost 3 years now. I ran a company for a while using Linux and managed to find everything I needed for software to run administration. It was great. I still have a windows tablet for troubleshooting and equipment specific requests, but I always feel weird logging into it.
Mint is sooo good. I've got windows on dual boot (using reFind to hop between them), although I barely ever need to.
Always feels mega funky being back on windows.
I also have windows on a dual boot, just because. I've also got Win10 on VirtualBox for those quick tasks (adobe reader, PowerPoint, etc)
Hey! Nice to see a fellow Mint user. I finally made the switch from Windows a couple of months back, and oh man did they make a great distro! It's so nice that everything just works right out of the box.
