I'm using Mint. I tried Mate, but found Mint a better fit for me.
Well Mint would be the distro but the DE would be Mate. Or it could be Cinnamon, XFCE (Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Budgie, Unity... etc etc etc)
Currently I have 2 machines running on Mint (18.3). My daily driver is a Cinnamon Desktop and my spare is running Mate. I've had a few issues as of lately on my Cinnamon build, not sure if it has to do with Cinnamon itself, or something else so I may play with Mate a little more.
Oh sorry. I meant Cinnamon Mint.
Right on. So I was dinking around with my panel and ended up fubaring the damn thing and had to set it back to default, well there must have been a change in the network manager because it's different now and I'm having issues ... primarily with turning on and off my VPN or switching between VPNs. There are some other issues that I'm trying to sort out as well ... Like HDMI for one, I have to manually change the sound to output from HDMI every time I plug into my TV from my laptop. And then when I remove the HDMI cable I have to manually change the sound output back to Laptop. I'm not sure if these are Linux issues, Mint issues, Cinnamon issues or what.
