I installed Mint 17.3 Cinnamon a couple weeks ago. Every time I've installed a Linux distro in the past 10 years, I have run into major issues with drivers, and this was no exception. It's related to having both an onboard Intel graphics card and an Nvidia video card. If I disable the Nvidia card, performance is fine but I am unable to hookup a second monitor. If I use the Nvidia card, I can hook up a second monitor, but there are major issues with screen tearing. If not for this issue, I would be quite satisfied with this OS.
