From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Top taskbar? Are you sure you didn't use the vanilla XFCE setup or GNOME? Mint sucks and has a bad track record.
Mint got hacked and bad ISOs got uploaded, oh and when I used mint, the upgrade from 19.1 to 19.3 didn't work. Unfixable broken packages.
EnOS'es Cinnamon is plain cinnamon, without any Mint extras.
