[Ubuntu-SG] Does anybody have any experience with Linux Mint ?

[Chen Xiangpeng]

I personally think that Linux distros that attempt to emulate the
windows interface might  give users false expectations to which how
the system is expected to behave. When the system which looks like
windows can't perform the tasks that people expect windows to do,
users will be frustrated.

I would prefer users to learn a new interface from scratch. It will
probably not generate expectations or misconceptions given the fact
that they are starting from scratch.

My two cents :-)
