@jjconstrI know Im late replying to this, but I didnt see it when I needed it. In February, I installed Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04 in dual boot with Win7 on Acer Aspire 5733Z-4851. its working but much didnt resemble Windows. How would you sumarize the differences between my distro and Linux Mint 19.2 Mate? My wife just started using Ubuntu also. Differences from Windows can be confusing. Is it worth switching? Im a first time Linux user. Now have Ubuntu Touch on two Lg Nexus 5's. Love Linux!
Thanks for that link! It will be informative. Are the available apps the same from distro to distro? Am looking for a pdf viewer, preferably one that will allow filling in forms online. I don't see it in my LibreOffice.@jjconstr
Greetings from the Old Geezer,
If you want to get an idea what Linux Mint looks like, hop on over to Distrowatch - https://distrowatch.com/gallery.php?distribution=mint
You can check out the desktop pictures and compare them with what you have.
When I first started with Linux I tried Ubuntu but it was not a comfortable fit for me - too much different from Windows 7 which I had on my computer.
LM Mate seemed to be the one I was most comfortable with in making the transition. I did not have to touch the terminal at all, which was a plus for me at the time.

Yes, Mint looks more comfortable, for sure. When I get the time, I may give it a try. Can I load it on a live USB drive? Give it a try without installing in pc? How about a triple boot? Win7, Bionic Beaver and MInt Mate? Do some distros have better app selections?@jjconstr

G'day jjconstr. Just to add to the old geezer's (TC) comment I also run Mint but with a cinnamon desktop. Since at the moment you are just figuring out what is best for you, take a gander it may suit you it may not either way your the pilot of your box.Yes, Mint looks more comfortable,
