What desktop #linux distribution do you use on a modern laptop?

My venerable laptop is 10 years old and it's battery isn't what it is so I've a new one on it's way.

Now I've used Ubuntu and Mint over the years for desktop use, alternating between the two.

As this one currently has Ubuntu on it I'll probably try the current Mint but what other distributions are people using for daily Desktop/Laptop use?

#linux #desktop #laptop #ubuntu #mint

@peter I'm curious, what made you alternate between mint and ubuntu?

@Biorez originally WiFi.

At one point I had Ubuntu on a laptop but couldn't get WiFi working. When I tried Mint it just worked.

On the next machine I tried Ubuntu again and that worked fine, so over the years I've just tried each one in turn to see how they compared.

This specific laptop's now 10 years old but I've rebuilt it many times over the years & again alternated between them - right now it's Ubuntu.

This time I'm wondering if to try something else first for a change

@peter @Biorez
I have ran Xubuntu (minimal install) on old old hardware here - with absolutely no heart burn.
