I've been running Lubuntu since 2014, and needed to upgrade my laptop. Lubuntu
18.10 uses LxQT instead of LXDE, and I ran into some glitches with it.

On a lark, I threw MINT 19 on it, and I'm impressed. Google Drive support,
better eye candy, a search tool in the start menu, and it's not taking much
more memory than LXDE.

The backup tool looks pretty cool, I'm going tosee about setting up a backup to
my web host.

Apparently 19.1 is coming out my Christmas, we'll see what's changed. By then,
I'll have an ultrabay SATA drive, which'll make backing up and restoring
faster.
