For several years on and off I have played with linux live cds but couldn't get it so I lost interest. However, recently one my family Window 10 pc systems got corrupted and I was unable to reinstall the OS with the information I have so it means that I will have to purchase a new copy of Windows10 . I have been trying out Unbuntu 16.10 and Mint 18.1 and I think that either will suffice for the tasks that the this machine is used for. Is there any reason to use one over the other ? -Thanks
