Very much agreed, I did look into BSD or Illumos but didn't end up taking a liking to either (I'm incredibly picky). I've always loved Linux and used most of the ones above, but finally setting with one was a tough challenge. Don't necessarily need complete freedom I just tend to mess around with things quite a bit when I feel like doing so. Even though they're older Kernels they are great to use if you want to do so.

Plus I found the Mint look really pretty.

Mint is lovely, GFX-wise. I heard that their theme was ported to other distributions though.

I heard the same thing, I believe it's not all from one other distro. But the end layout of it is very nice.
