From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux Mint is not a beginner Distro
It's what was suggested here to me
Yes, I know that. And then the outdated kernel has missing drivers, or packages are outdated, etc. and you are searching for solutions that only apply to Mint
Interesting, I'm running LM:DE, and haven't had any problems, on first start up it offers up a selection of things I might want to do including loading proprietary drivers. So far I have it running on multiple computers, including two POS terminals that were never meant to be used as computers.
