I'm so much more productive on Linux desktops it's ridiculous. Just the desktop alone is a giant win. Mint Mate edition.

I don't even notice how much quicker it all is until I boot Windows in a VM. I have never really been a Windows hater, but this edition has become a hot mess. It's like swimming in treacle sometimes trying to get anything done.

That's a point I forgot to make. W8 booted twice as fast as W7 ((its sole advantage?). W10 takes minutes to boot, or longer. It isn't predictable and the GUI gives the end user zero indication what the OS is doing that takes so much longer ... beyond an endless spinning circle.

Plus one for Mint Mate. It's the desktop experience I grew up with. I wouldn't mind a more modern app dock with large icons and no text but that's not a deal breaker. It's how computers were meant to be used IMO.

There are app docks like that you can install. They're worth a try if you really want that feature.
