Have you tried setting it up yet?  All I did was

>> sudo apt-get install emacs auctex bbdb w3m-el-snapshot

plus install some libraries for which I'm unaware of packages.  I've had
no problems so far.

I'd say Mint has as high a "boredom rate"[1] as Fedora or Arch so far;
Debian and the Ubuntu derivatives I've tried were far too exciting
(i.e. annoying).

Footnotes: 
[1]  To be perfectly clear, I mean that I am having so few problems that
I'm barely noticing what system I'm using.  The only thing keeping me
noticing that I'm using a new distro is Mint's beautiful default desktop.
