After three years of using Linux Mint for work, mainly accessing the work server via remote desktop or web app, I can say that it just works.
Due to several factors, the company I work for decided to use a Windows server in order for us to access the software we need to do our work. And it has proved to be quite a good decision, since it has simplified the software management by the IT department, and help everyone to be able to work remotely when needed. Specially the sales team, because they are almost always on the move.
Personally, it has helped me to better manage my work flow and to keep on top on deadlines. I just like the fact that I can better balance my work-life better, though it would be better if we could work remotely at least a couple of days a week.
Whats more, it has given me even more arguments for me not to return to Windows. Linux Mint work a lot better for me, and I rather use free and open-source software as much as possible.
And as the old Linux Mint tag line use to say: from freedom came elegance, I find Linux Mint to be a lot more of an elegant OS than either Windows , macOS, or any other Linux distro I've used so far. Linux Mint is just simple to use, and with each update has improved its usability and become more reliable.
Cinnamon, Linux Mint desktop environment, has improved leaps and bounds with time. So much so, that other Linux distros like Arch Linux, Debian, and openSUSE include use it.
Linux Mint is a great option for those who want to make the jump to a Linux distro from Windows. It is easy to use, and can be used by people who don´t really have that much technical expertise or those who simple don´t want to get their hands dirty hacking their system.
