I have installed it for my daughter and my wife and they have had no problems. I used to use KDE myself, for a long time, but I thought it was unnecessarily bloated for their needs. In fact, I have now installed Xubuntu on my desktop so we are all using Xfce now. And I am very pleased with it. Now to try to find some friends to convert .....!! NeilXFCE is growing on me, I was a bit disappointed that Mint seemed to stop doing the really lightweight LXDE version.
Before it died (after being sat on! lol) my netbook was mint 12 xfce, but i just installed lxde. So am I missing something here? What is the actual point of having, for example, 3 versions of mint? With each one defaulting to a particular desktop [ kde | xfce | lxde ] ?
Asked another way what is the difference, apart from the desktop, between each version of mint?
