Ok heres something interesting.
To note: 2 of the Distros are using same architecture, while RoboLinux is based solely on Debian.
For a long time I put my opinions on reserve in regards to RoboLinux versions and what it comes with. For a power user like myself, I could easly and have easily incorporated basically what RoboLinux brings to the table.
When running Linux Mint and Ubuntu's family, I have also customized the distro from ground up.
In any case, lets have a look at Linux Mint 17.x versions vs Ubuntu's equivalents (XFCE, LXDE, KDE and well Unity if you want) vs the "self proclaimed lightning fast" RoboLinux flavours.
Now to kick off the war:
Overall winner is tied between Mint and Ubuntu family (both with less overload of stuff than RoboLinux).
RoboLinux might be a bit faster but lets face it, it is built on pure debian. However, it is "overloaded" with stuff not really needed in my opinon.
Also, any user who uses linux will know exactly how to use a Virtual Machine to run Windows OS or even WINE to run it natively on Linux.
But that is my opinion. Nevertheless, watch the videos on RoboLinux website which point to youtube to have a better understanding of whats under the hood since, well, there seems to be a lack of reviews for this distro, in comparison to the others.
PS: I would have tossed in Peppermint but well it is also based on Ubuntu and runs solely on LXDE, so thats for another time.
