I try it a while ago, and remember liking it ok.  I think it's based off
Ubuntu, and when I used it not much was different beside cosmetic
changes (although the default background, themes, ect. looked much
better than ubuntu in my opinion).  These days I don't much care for
ubuntu so by extension I don't like mint much, but I think if you like
ubuntu you would likely feel the same about mint.
