Linux Mint is the most popular desktop linux distribution on these days (http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity). Simple design and rich package library (ubuntu based) attract new users. Also menus, toolbar and usability are familiar for Windows users so these are the most important reasons for its popularity.
Sometimes in terms of software installation can be challenging for Linux newcomers. Getting latest versions of packages and depencency problems make the process painful. In this post I explained installing QGIS 2.4 (the latest version for now) on Linux Mint 17. Also I mentioned installation of SAGA GIS, GRASS GIS, OTB (Orfeo Toolbox) and integration of Processing Toolbox.
