and I use Linux Mint, not vulnerable to Mac or Windows viruses, trojans etc. Can you believe it!

There is the big problem with all the distros is that barely any install flash by default, mostly for semi-legal reasons. Linux Mint is one of the few distros that does come with it, and is, IMO, the best. Richard Stallman and co. may not agree, but I think this kind of thing is just what Desktop Linux needs.
