What do you guys think about the #1 on distrowatch list, Linux Mint? Also, my main question in regards of this is, is it a CIAniggers distro? What about its Debian based version, LMDE?

1. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB runs great on it
2. Linux runs great on it
You have so much choice with x220.
My recommendations, if there isn't an SSD/SSHD in there get it in.
Also, you can push it to 16gb ram, I have 8 but will get 16 at some point.
if you can get a windows hdd in there at any time, try updating the bios, I did it the day I got mine, and then installed Linux, it's always a good idea with spectre & meltdown and stuff.
I always get tempted to get a big thinkpad, like a T series, but when I get a 9 cell for this I can see myself getting up to 10 hours, right now with my original 6 cell battery I'm getting around 3 and a half/4 hours.

Not much more or less than any other. Does it really matter when you're going to be installing it on CIAnigger hardware, though?

After using Arch and then Manjaro for a while, I really like the simplicity and comprehensive packages, but I really dislike the constant updating and breakage. Based on this I decided to try debian, since .debs are the only serious competitors to AUR on number of packages, and debian has many LTS/server versions that don't seem to have much bloat. But I had trouble even figuring how to get my video drivers to work (which was easy even in arch).

As a sysadmin, I'm alright with Systemd, but the design is a little over what I need for home. If I ever did a reinstall at home, I'd probably switch to systemd to stay more standard, but my current init system has no shortcomings sufficient enough to warrant switching right now. I'm not going to switch until I really need to.

I've been using Linux since 2004. Distrohopping until first Ubuntu. Left Ubuntu for Windows with their change to Unity. In 2015 I installed Ubuntu Mate. I was very happy with it until the 18.04 release. There are so many quirks in 18.04, which I don't like (for example: weird looking notification area). I tried MX Linux and I'm very happy with it atm. It's really snappy and just let's you go about your day.
I would go back to Ubuntu Mate 18.04 if it looked like 16.04 release (notification area).

This explains it's appeal and rank, plain and simple. With the mass exodus from all the CIANiggers now infesting MacroShaft Wangblows, Mint is the obvious choice. Most will simply park there ofc, the autistic among us will move on to Arch derivatives, Gentoo, or even LFS.
