I usually dual boot my rigs with Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit and Linux Mint 64-Bit but this time around Linux Mint 15 has been a real headache to get up and running. Gives me a moment of pause to consider another distro for this rig.
My experiences so far with Mint 15:
- Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon - Installs but no sound and many very non-Mint like annoyances. Looks like they rushed to release this version without as much testing as usual. Maybe a long road ahead to get it running smoothly.
- Linux Mint 15 Debian Version - Installs but doesn't recognize any of the hardware and doesn't look like its worth the hassle to debug.
Also, in general, although I like Mint for its traditional desktop, I do not like the clean install requirement every time the new version comes out especially since new revs roll out every six months.
Just curious to know what Linux distros everyone else is using and what their experiences were getting them up and running (full hardware recognized and working) on the Asus Maximus VI Extreme w/4770K...
