I am typing this on Mint just now.
The Cinnamon UI is nice to look at, and doesn't seem to be aimed at tablet users (this does my head in - I am sure 90% of people work at a desktops all day, not a tablet). But I found it would randomly start hogging the CPU and I never worked out why.
I am on XFCE now, and its fast and stable (though doesn't look quite a pretty).
