I suggest you don't use mint at all.
Here is a list of distros that I really think you should look at as a replacement.
Xubuntu: Don't get regular Ubuntu. Canonical sucks.
Lubuntu: If your computer is REALLY super old. Like, seriously. Lubuntu will run on old Windows XP computers.
Manjaro: It's awesome. Super gud. Its pretty much Arch linux, but made easier for noobs. Using yaourt instead of APT is so much better.

I'm currently using Arch, (which I do NOT reccomend for new users) and I haven't used any of these in a while. They may have changed since then. Idk.

OT: Good choice setro.
If you use manjaro though, make sure to figure out how to use yaourt (a command to install things)

Arch Linux (and Manjaro) have these things called "repositories". APT has them, but you have to add each one manually. In Manjaro, there is only four, and the yaourt command can install any package from all four official repositories and the Arch User Repository (AUR)

To use yaourt, just put the name of your program in front of the command.

So if you wanted to install Steam, you would type in the following:
yaourt steam
Then you will be given a list of packages to install. Find the package called "steam" and there should be a number next to it. Type that number and press enter. It should then install steam for you.

Neat.
Can I install manjaro using a flashdrive with it's ISO on it?
Can I just drag the ISO into the flashdrive or do I have to use some software to write it to the flashdrive?
