I got to laugh because I'm running Windows 10 and Firefox takes way longer than a minute to launch. Chrome takes several to launch and connect. My Windows 10 installation is definitely not snappy. Boot time is ridiculous. I just despise Windows 10. My husband laptop he got for his birthday last year has it and he's always asking me to do things that Microsoft removed. Mom's laptop also has it and it has nothing but problems. I finally gave my brother in Canada her TeamViewer info and let him deal with the mess.
My impression of Linux Mint is pretty positive so far. I see me putting it on the desktop once Vista goes the way of XP.
The desktop is quadcore and has 8GB of ram. It should run Cinnamon without issues. The only problem I forsee is the netbook is 32bit and I read 32bit will be dropped in a couple years. The desktop is 64bit.
Do I need a firewall with Linux? I know you said no antivirus needed. On my Window install I use an AV/Firewall and allow/deny setups.
