    I've tried them all and speaking personally Mint and Zorin are miles ahead of the game. Both were reliable. I like the simple sleekness of Zorin. Mint is good, but a bit clunky in terms of visuals. Zorin and Mint use the same installer process. Zorin was the only distro that handled my duel booting without a clinch. It worked seamlessly.
