#23Not an answer, but people who are using Mint; is there an official upgrade path between releases yet? How do you upgrade?

Do you have plans for an alternative now that development has ceased? (http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=416493#p41649...)

#25Ubuntu Studio 14.04 because:
+ the Ubuntu ecosystem is well supported, in particularAskUbuntu on StackExchange.
+ The Studio flavor comes with software that's cool even what I don't use, and the little I have used would have been hard to identify and select in my state of ignorance...it's pretty much the case that having audio and video tools is the only reason I've used them.
+ I personally don't like the way stock Ubuntu works (in little ways) and don't want to invest in configuration at this point in my life.

All Mint point releases (17, 17.1, 17.2) are going to use Ubuntu 14.04 as a base. That means upgrading Mint 17 is low risk task until Mint 18 is released in 2016 (based on Ubuntu 16.04).
Also expect Mint Debian Edition based on Debian 8.0 (Jessie) to be released later this year. Currently the Debian edition of Mint is rolling release but the developers have agreed that starting with Jessie, they will use only stable releases to base their version on.

#28Debian Wheezy at home (I learned Linux on Debian, so I guess it's kind of habit when I pick a distro); CentOS 6.6 at work. After hearing a few things about Arch, though, I will give that a try. :)

#29I am using Fedora20. I have unusual reasons - my 2009 Macbook Pro os broken such that booting OSX or the MacOS install disc will cause hard reboot very quickly.
The efi boot-install of Fedora also crashes the machine; the bios boot uses a different graphics card and doesn't crash the machine. (The Plymouth boot logo is garbled and boot takes an age but it works).
(I only think it's a broken graphics adaptor. I'd happily try any fault-finding that people suggest. )
I have strongly negative opinions of Fedora and I will never ever install it on any other system. I'm preparing to move over to Arch.
