I just switched from Ubuntu 10.04 to Mint Linux 11 to try out. I like it
better than
10.04 for a couple of reasons. It seems to be faster in connection to my
Wifi,
and just faster in general. I still haven't seen how well the sound
works in all
aspects. The sound works as well as 10.04 did on internal speakers,
still need to
test with headphones, 10.04 didn't work with headphones, if Mint doesn't
either
I do have the work around I had with 10.04 to fall back on.

My main reason to change was knowing that the next LTS would have the
new Unity
in I wanted to try something more in keeping with 10.04. I am glad I
switched. I had
tried Mint 8 some time ago, then Mint 9 and didn't see much to make me
change. Then
read some nice reviews on 11 and some plans for 12, so I may try the
live when it settles
down.
