I started with Mint Mate but now use Mint Cinnamon. I run Windows mainly in VM to use MS Office for things it does better and CorelDraw for diagrams etc. I also explore other distros in Virtualbox with the intention of adding a second distro to boot into at some point

I first tried to use Suse Linux around 2000 but found it hard so when I chose a version to use at home I opted for an easy to use and install version with Mint Mate which also suited my hardware. I upgraded my computer this year and Cinnamon was a natural improvement to use for Linux. I was hoping for good dual screen use but this is not as straightforward as I had hoped.
