I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon-Flavour. After also trying/using
KDE-environments I opted for GNOME and I prefer Mint a lot over Ubuntu
which was my mainstay for years. I dislike the orange theme and some
other things with Ubuntu.

Linux is just my fallback OS should Apple do the wrong things like CISAM
or other funny stuff.
