I like Linux Mint overall.  I'm running Linux Mint on my secondary PC, which
runs a couple servers and runs my BBS in a Win7 VM.  Currently it has 18.3 (I
believe) on it.  I haven't upgraded to 19 as I've heard the upgrade process to
19.x doesn't seem to work very well.  I may re-install a fresh copy of Mint on
that machine eventually, since I upgraded to a larger hard drive a while ago
and the only way I could make use of all the space was to add another
partition, due to it using a MBR partition table.  From what I've heard,
updating to a GPT partition table would be better for a larger drive, and it
sounds like the drive would need to be reformatted for that.
