Beside the handling for installing the nvidia-driver (how it is in debian, but not in ubuntu, though there's that sudo-thing), it's faboulous in terms of usability. I'm abosolutly happy to run it. There are a lot of configuration possibilities for the user and i had no problems so far.

There's even a backup tool which let's you backup a list of all packages that have been installed and specified directories.

There are also a lot of multimedia-apps.

THUMBS UP, I'm with Linux Mint Debian Edition now and for a while :)! Take a look, you won't regret it...

I love Mint.

Have used a few distros through the years, though I am still very much a novice with Linux, and I always come back to Mint.

Was having trouble getting another distro installed because of my NVIDIA graphics card. A little searching, and I found out Mint had already addressed the issue! With version 201101 no more issues, it installed with no problems at all.

Highly recommend it.
