Cinnamon is nice too. It is one of my installed desktops on Arch.

The menu is sort of a cross between gnome2 and Windows, with the best parts of each... but I kind of prefer the flyouts of gnome2.

Linux Mint is basically Ubuntu with Cinnamon/MATE installed. Guaranteed smoothness because it's all built together, and stuff, whereas I thought with Ubuntu, you had to get patched versions of all kinds of stuff?
When installing on Ubuntu, don't you need to use a PPA? I heard it got shut down...

(I may be totally wrong, I don't follow Ubuntu news anymore.)
