I started dabbling with Linux mint on version 17 after deciding I didn't like Ubuntu's rigid settings. Cinnamon was wonderful and I was hooked. The only setback thus far was the loss of awesome, native screensavers in 19.1. Regardless, I'll choose this over icky Windows any day. I have it on all of my personal computers and have been able to install it on most of my work computers the last three jobs (current jobs as a VM, but I'll take what I can get).
Professionally, I've been working on Linux Systems for almost 10 years, was a Linux Systems Admin for 2 and a half of those years, and am currently an Applications Systems Engineer on mostly Linux systems. I have exposure to Arch, Redhat, RHV and Ovirt Node Next, Rocky, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Mint. They all have their used and all are wonderful in their own right. Mint is by far my favorite flavor of Desktop and I don't anticipate that changing any time soon.
