Maybe they have become tired of being handcuffed by dependence on Microsoft. Perhaps they are trying to breathe life into an old Windows PC. Overall Opinion: There are many reasons why someone might want to explore the Linux operating system. Mint is a good os but depends on what you use your computer for and how old it is. Windows movie maker beats anything Linux has hands down.
Traditional hard drives are a good storage medium for backups. Seems Linux cannot do a hard drive surface test either. Linux cannot fix crosslinked files or the hard drive bitmap. You are u likely going to have a good experience with help requests. Like those who are gruff or rude in their posts. Word of advice you look at a distributor forum and see if there are any hardliners there. Mint team too focused on corporate use and only have desktop as an afterthought. Those require memorizing command line syntax. And there is no dialog like ubuntu has to click run input password and run. I have yet been able to find a single Linux that does NORMAL computer usage without having to download *something*. Also mint refuses to include many codecs and flash needed for web surfing. For comfortable use, mint should have at least a core i5 and 4 to 8 gb ram. Mx Linux or Linux lite os flies compared to mint but are rather visually unappealing compared to min.
Diminishing returns above that unless you are doing non normal computer use. Mint kde and cinnamon does use a little more resources but who uses a computer with 512 mb ram anymore? Most Linux sweet spot for ram is 4 gb regardless of 32 or 64 bit. Overall Opinion: Stop at mint 17.3 if you want a real desktop and not a Windows 10 look alike.
