Over the last couple of years I have tried most Linux flavours and for about 6 months I did settle on Mint Xfce but after trying Xubuntu I decided I preferred it and switched over a few months back. I'm not sure my decision to switch was sensible and cannot really justify the use of Xubuntu rather than Mint. Since I can now install a Linux and migrate all my data in about half a day it does not matter too much which version I use and I shall try out the new versions as they become available.
Edit : I just noticed that the latest Mint Xfce which has long term support has recently been released so I shall install it as a Virtual Box instance.
