Turn your windows 8 computer into a touch screen.

I'm guessing this is because of the shitty wireless drivers?

I'm fairly sure they fixed those.

No last time I had huge issues trying to get it to recognise my adapter. Tried everything that I read online, it just wouldn't pick it up.

Nearly broke my laptop getting rid of 8. Remember to disable secure boot before you try and install something else.

Good suggestion. Thank you

Switch to desktop mode and it is Windows 7 with much better performance.
Still, I prefer using Peppermint and Arch.

I actually have done this and downloaded the pack for the start menu. The problem I have is combatiblity with some programs that I use. I run them in 7 or xp combaltibility mode and they still bug out. That's why i'm reverting back to 7.

Was this on a wired or wireless connection? I had heaps of problems with Mint on wireless too, got "Wireless Unavailable" majority of the time.

Obviously was on wireless if I wanted it to find my adapter, lol. Yeah this was on mint too.

I presumed so, just asked considering you skipped right over the wireless drivers part

Mint has had shitty support for wireless drivers forever, I'm fairly sure they fixed it with Nadia though. Try it out sometime.

Spoiler

but i recommend arch because it has the easiest installation ever

They still haven't fixed it for Nadia. It's starting to become a pain for me. Takes like half an hour before the laptop finds the wifi.

Drivers are easy to install, what is yours?
@Danielson - which programs are incompatible?
