Linux Mint, of which there are 4 varieties (desktop managers). I use the MATE desktop/flavor.

"Cinnamon" is much more fancy, but I prefer reliability over slick features. But if you like rotating cubes, and effects like you have on Mac OS X, you should go with the Cinnamon desktop.

I started using Ubuntu part-time about 2009, and I switched to Linux Mint full-time in 2011.

Cool. I hope around depending on what I'm doing.

For desktop I typically use Antergos or Debian, but I'm familiar with many. I switch around windows managers. I've used i3, kde plasma, gnome, cinnamon, you name it I've probably used it. But for Antergos I just use KDE plasma right now.

All of my support tools for customers only work on Windows, so I just use Windows 8.1 for that.
