    Will Linux Mint be better than a 64bit Windows 10 on an Acer laptop from 2010?

    I bought a working laptop for just $50 today. Its a Acer Aspire 5536-5142. It didnt have a HDD but I managed to get my own 5400 rpm HDD 500GB. Will Linux Mint be better than the Windows 10 on this HDD and laptop? The only way Im considering Win 10 is because of Microsoft Office.
