All Linux distros have their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer Mint because it's easy to use, and it's simple to pick up for people who already know Windows, which is most everyone. The one major exception is for companies that must maintain a large fleet of desktops. In that case, I recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), or Ubuntu Advantage. That's because these all come with corporate support.
