I remember back a few years ago when it was a slog and drudgery to get it functional, not advisable for the majority of PC users at home.

As posted this the the route I took. This laptop is old ( Core 2 2GHz and by even current i3's limited graphics ) but Mint Mate works fine. At a time of my choice I updated it from 18.1 to 18.3 a few weeks ago taking less than 20 minutes to download and install.
With Win10 you always have to be prepared for the next boot to install updates before being able to use, assuming of course everything actually still works.
