Linux mint size is too large . You cannot run ot on a bit old machine. There is no personal package archive its better if they add personal package archive in the package.

I like the KDE desktop, it gives me a feeling of working on Windows with a taskbar, file and program search. The fort of Neptune is the multimedia part, it is perfect to work with all the necessary tools.
