Switched to Mint a few months ago on my Desktop. I discovered a few issues during my time with it such as waking itself from suspend mode or the headphone jack in my front header not getting picked up, but both issues were fixed with just a bit of searching.

Overall it's a great feeling to be able to just do what I want with my computer and not worry about big corpa messing with me, even if I do expect that things may need to be patched up here and there.
