vv221: The thing is, to write such a complete guide (and easy to read too, adamhm did a wonderful work here!) you need to be familiar with the distribution you’re writing about.
So we would need a Fedora user to write a guide about Fedora, etc.
morrowslant: Good point as well. Maybe I should start writing up a Fedora configuration guide.
The major differences between Linux Mint & Fedora boil down to user friendliness(Linux Mint wins), root id implementation, and embedded multimedia codecs support. That last bit is going to change with Linux Mint 18, as per
http://www.infoworld.com/article/3067350/linux/linux-mint-18-wont-include-multimedia-codecs.html When it really comes down to it, I tend to break down the various Linuxes by package type (deb, rpm, txz, etc.) as they're really all the same at heart -- as I mentioned above, it's more about how much work you really want to put into configuring your ideal OS.
Once you learn the ins and outs of a couple of different distros, they all start feeling fairly familiar -- I'm currently using Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Mint, and Antergos, although I have used OpenSuSE and Fedora in the past.
EDIT: I should add that I only found Antergos thanks to Judas, and although it's based on Arch, it's actually a very user-friendly distro. The only really major decision that needs to be made during installation is which desktop to use, as there is a choice of six: Gnome, KDE, MATE, Cinnamon, OpenBox and XFCE.
