I have chosen Cinnamon. Because Simplicity and being able to customize it as much as I want. I have used Linux Mint for years, but on other devices. Not really as my main OS.
only saw this now, so I post in August (me so bad) : Actually it's pretty nice being in Linux. I also run Linux (dualboot), but Ubuntu GNOME (mac-ish look and it's pretty easy to use). but Mint is considered as one of the best linux OS available (user voting on DistroArch), and I was also a Mint user... on VM. and was pretty surprised by the fact that this is a smooth and easy to use OS.
