If we know what your priorities are, it's easier to say whether Mint might be good for you.

That said...it is a fantastic all-purpose OS for the general user. There may be one or two things you have to tinker with to get just how you want them, and that may require an hour or two of Googling... but once you have a system set up how you want it, it is stable and slick.
