I have terabytes of stuff that I've collected over the years. It's amazing how infrequently I ever need any of it.

I don't do any downloading unless it is an update for the OS or virus update. While it was a pain in the ass to reformat everything I didn't lose much.

Sure. After all, it's just another flavor of Debian.

I'm not arguing merits, except as applied to Linux (really, any flavor) being superior to the virus known as M$ Windows.

I currently dual boot windoze and mint, I have some programs with to linux equivilent. My cctv software is win only - a weird format, not been able to view it with anything other than the manufacturers software, got it sort of working in linux using wine, but need to run the installer every time!
