Started hating ubuntu 5 or so years ago when they let the udev system start changing the name of your network adapter based on its mac address. Granted my use case is fairly uncommon - my students install Linux to external USB drives so they can boot off USB on any computer and have a full system. No, a live DVD won't work - they need to create VMs in virtual box, install apps, change settings, etc. Then the gnome3/unity crap started.

Been very happy with Mint. Latest version runs fine on 7+ year old hardware, although the 10 year old desktop I have at work is starting to show its teeth - mainly in that while it is a 64bit cpu, it can't virtualize a 64bit system for me.

Servers have been Debian for 15 years, ain't planning on switching...
