A comment on Linux Mint 16 "Petra" MATE released.

In the last couple months I've tested elementary, pinguy, and the mint 16 MATE RC. I think I'm actually going to stick with it because it's the only one of those three that supports seamless multi-monitor/single setup (like recognizing the hdmi output immediately without changing a setting), proper suspend/hibernation, and probably some other hiccups in others that I've forgotten.

Very happy with Mint.

FYI: These were my first experiences with linux so they were also beginner-friendly.

I have a dual install of Mint on my machine precisely because of its seamless HDMI support. It was the one thing I could never get working properly on my primary OS, but Mint did the trick right out of the box.
