Well, as for command line stuff I did have to use it to make both my monitors show a separate image (it defaulted to both monitors showing the same thing). That said, it was easy enough to find how to fix it ;). I'll have to have a look at Cinnamon....I don't recall that one coming up when I did a search for "Best Linux distro for Windows user". Heh.

Won't install Blender or Wings tho...says I need some Ubuntu whatever among other stuff I have no idea what. LOL.
