Hello Richard,

I tried Redhat many years ago and recently tried CentOS which is based on RHEL.

Yesterday I did a test install of the newest version of FreeBSD. But it failed 
to install due to grub install issues. Installed Ubuntu v19.04 server on the 
same PC without any issues.

I would have to agree.

> I am quit OK with Fedora.

Haven't had an interest yet with either of the above two distros. I have 
recently installed and tested both Debian and as mentioned above CentOS.

> I never tried Mint.

I am running Mint on this desktop PC as I type. Very easy to install and an 
easy OS for those are transitioning from a Windows PC environment.
