Posted on 01-06-15 06:02:24 PM, in Linux Distros (suggest some to me!) Link
I have had a poor experience with Mint.

The only distribution that actually works for me without serious issues is regular Ubuntu, or any of the official variants (Kubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, etc.). The only main difference between the variants is what desktop environment they use, and in the end which one to go with is up to you. However, there are a good number of people who have not been very lucky with Ubuntu, so what will happen with you is unpredictable.

Debian is not necessarily non-modern; the stable releases are designed to be as dependable as possible and thus sacrifice the bleeding edge for reliability, but they aren't relics by any means. Ubuntu itself is based on Debian testing, which is far more up to date. However, Debian does require some amount of user configuration; I don't know how much, but it's still some good amount.

Other distributions that don't require too much setup are Fedora and OpenSUSE; while Fedora has mostly worked for me OpenSUSE has always felt wonky. Again, your results WILL vary.

You should definitely decide which desktop environment you want to use as part of your decision on which distribution to use. The big four (GNOME 3, KDE 4, Xfce, and Unity) are wildly different. Try a live CD or live USB of the various Ubuntu flavors (which each differ by which DE they come with) to get a taste. If those four aren't good enough, there are more obscure alternatives (LXDE, window manager-only setups like Openbox and IceWM, etc.), but let's only turn to those when you rule out the big four.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
