It has been three months since I came back to Linux Mint, and I've really enjoyed coming back.
I've always had a soft spot for Linux Mint, the distro is one of the best out there and Cinnamon is just really good looking. Cinnamon has gotten better with time, and with the 3.4 version it has become my favorite desktop.
In general, Linux Mint in general worked great for me. But, Ubuntu with Unity did a slightly better job and work a bit better for me. It seemed that Cinnamon just had to mature a bit more to surpass Unity, and become the better fit for me. It truly just works from the onset, and the design of Cinnamon makes it one of the most elegant desktops out there.
There are many ways to configure the way Cinnamon looks, and works, to make it your own. I know there are other distros out there that give the user more options on how to configure it, but Linux Mint gives more then enough options for the average user. And there are ways for advance users to change things, but that up to each user to decide how deep they want to go.
Linux Mint is one of those distros that I can recommend to user of any level; since it's easy to use and configure for beginners while advance users can expand it's capabilities if that what she or he wants.
And for that, Linux Mint has become the way to go for my personal computing.
