Linux Mint
Why is there no option to select Linux Mint from the Linux dropdown menu? It is one of the most popular distros, as well as one of the best.

Re: Linux Mint
The Type and Version boxes only decide the hardware that the VM will present to the installed OS. Hardware is picked based on what the intended OS will support with built-in drivers.
Mint is actually a flavor of Ubuntu. Typing 'Mint' in the name box brings up Ubuntu as the OS type. My guess is that there is no necessary distinction in supported hardware between Mint and the parent Ubuntu to need a different choice.
