Freedom Kira:
I was close. Corrected.
Mint's interface is more similar to Windows than Ubuntu's, which is more similar to Mac these days. Should be fine if you pick based on that. 10.04 is when Ubuntu started looking more like Mac's interface.
I'm in 7 courses this term myself, actually, though the actual workload is more like six courses for now. But hey, at least respond to the thread you made, if you're going to respond to any threads, huh? =P

Haha yeah, and 4 labs. Those are the real time sinks.
I didn't have anything to add to it because I was completely clueless on the topic, I didn't want to muddy the waters, like I'm doing now.
Now I have a question, which one, if either, is restrictive with it's command line functions?
Bob2004:
The command line in any Unix OS is broadly the same, across any OS, distribution, etc. The programs installed on different OSes will be different, but in terms of Ubuntu vs. Mint, the command line will work pretty much exactly the same in 90% of cases when you need to use it. The only difference will be what programs are installed (eg. you can't run the cmake command unless cmake is installed).
Slysoft:
I installed mint on my laptop since I haven't used it since like version 7 and I wanted to test the new one out, but I'm having some issues with video playback. On windows 7 on the same computer using CCCP, MPC-HC, and coreavc I get flawless playback, but in mint I've tried SMplayer, gnome-mplayer, vlc, and like 4 other ones and they all have either stuttering issues, no vertical sync, or both. I've messed around in the settings for all players, tried different graphics drivers, played around with settings in nvidia x server, but it's always the same problem.
