I know that Leo LaPorte has moved from using Linux Mint to using Ubuntu with Cinnamon though.
Cinnamon is great, best desktop I've ever used. Why did he leave Mint, though? Mint is SO polished. I supposed if you have an Ubuntu server environment that you keep on 15.10 and you really want everything to match... but that seems a stretch.

@scottalanmiller I've never used Unity Desktop, thought I would give it a go.
Ewww... worst desktop I've ever used. I mean literally worse than Windows and Mac OSX.
Okay, NOT as bad as Windows 8, but not as good as Windows 7 or 10.
Try running it from a live CD haha

Installing Ubuntu 15.10 on my work laptop.
Why?
Great question - is Ubuntu typically thought of as a desktop OS?
It is... but for bad reasons. My opinion is that Ubuntu got huge funding somewhere to undermine the Linux world and poured money into advertising the worst desktop you could imagine as "user friendly" to convince newbies that Linux was hard. The amount of damage that it did to Linux is unreal. For a decade people would all say "Oh, new to Linux, try Ubuntu" when, very obviously, Ubuntu was the hardest to use, least supported, worst newbie experience you could imagine. Every old Linux system was better. Mint took the crap that was an Ubuntu desktop and turned it into something glorious... by replacing everything that faces the end user.
So yes, it is thought of as a desktop... by non-technical end users and people who have never explored the Linux ecosystem at all.

Interface. It's a "moron interface" designed for people who never need to go to the menu. So if you never need ANYTHING but a massive web browser button and never want to so much as manage a file, it's only kind of crappy. But ChomeOS does that way better. It's the worst of all options... overly simple so you can't actually do anything, totally wastes the desktop space and makes getting to apps a huge pain.

My favourite part is when it punishes you for searching for things by thrashing the disk and using lots of fades / animations / GPU heavy stuff.

Windows without the start menu, so it forces you to make a short cut or search and be punished

Yeah, everything about it is horrible. It's only marginally good in screen shots. but live... oh just painful.

Yup, Windows 8 was based on it.

I start talking to them about my divorce (non-existent) and how I can't pay my bills etc. Any thing that could be considered a life problem. I don't let them re-direct me.

They never last long. No one has the patience to deal with that for very long

Yeah, I hate the "put in a bunch of effort then we delete the thread" crap. WAY too much of that.
