PhD and DSc, I am a 59 years old university professor and investigator. I use Mint since five years now (Isadora) and do not want to change because of Mint excellency at a professional and personal level... I obvioulsy compared with a lot of other distros, but I firmly stay with Mint. Today Mint 17.2/64bits - Cinnamon, with an intel i3 processor, 6Gb of Ram and a 1To HDD. All perfect.
