Nice. Yeah, the reasons I don't use any other debian/ubuntu derivative are twofold:

1 - I don't actually need any sort of GUI, it's just headless
2 - Some of these distros inject their own package logic which can be troublesome at times

But on the whole I think mint has a pretty good track record.

For me it would run, but there were some graphical artifacts, and it would get confused if I pressed the arrow keys to move around too quickly. It's a strange issue. But the graphical artifacts were super annoying and the arrow key thing made gameplay difficult if not impossible at some points.
