    @JohnScott Hmmm.

    I'm using Mint now, but I'll probably change to something else... Maybe Fedora?

    @jhh2450 @teganburns Or a Arch variant maybe. I need a stable system and Linux Mint (at least current versions have been very disapponting) .

    @JohnScott Manjaro is quite stable, Also maybe elemenary OS I heard it's ok too, if need something more robust go with feroda, centos, debian?

    Debian, Arch Linux, CentOS.
    Those are your three best alternatives, in my opinion.

    In what way is mint disappointing you? Are the versions of packages too new and unstable? You tagged your post with Cinnamon. Does that mean you dislike Cinnamon, and think that you need to swap out your entire operating system to use a different desktop environment? Because you don't.

    Ubuntu Mate,
    because native ubuntu is just so hideous. Mate has a very nice looking set of dark themes, and so far have not come across an issue that I couldn't fix. And no errors to report yet.

    Tried Mint, and couldn't get two steps forward without some error. Loved the way it looked, but it is just not workable.

    Elementary os all the way. I use it on daily basis and I’m happy. Tried Ubuntu, Debian, redhat, mint, manjaro, pop!os, hot kde shit (neon or plasma idk) and many others. Nothing beats elementary

    Cinnamon is terrible.
    Give KDE a try.

    Debian + i3 is nice for productivity once you learn all the shortcuts

    @CatMDV this is interesting, because I've tried Ubuntu (unity, gnome, mate) and fedora and now I'm using mint because it's the most stable of them all

    I'll go with Ubuntu. Version 17 will be LTS this month.

    I use Ubuntu because of the massive breadth of packages it features by default, and the fact that most software that isn't in the default repo has an Ubuntu-specific PPA.

    The desktop environment is as changeable as a pair of socks. Ubuntu doesn't mean you have to use unity, gnome, or even X at all.

    Lubuntu and CentOS for Server stuff
    Arch Linux for yourself

    I think Elementary OS deserves a try.

    KDE neon is pretty cool. The desktop environment is rollingish (continously updated/fixed) but the Ubuntu version and everything else stays stable. Debian based.

    Elementary might also be a good fit as well sense you're coming from mint. Debian based.

    Manjaro is also good as well. Arch based.

    or if you want to keep using cinnamon, Antergos. Arch based.

    If you want something arch based that is stable and has easy installation check out Antergos

    Ubuntu LTS (official version). Every time I try another distro, I find myself going back to it.
