Been thinking about uninstalling it and replacing it with Mint.

Don't bother. Try lubuntu. I've been through what feels like every ubuntu distro recently and its by far the fastest and most reliable of the bunch so far. mint is a little bloated imo, especially since it uses GNOME by default, which is way more resource intensive than the LXDE environment Lubuntu uses.
Oh, and xubuntu is worth a try, but its not actually all that fast compared to lubuntu. Still a lot lighter than ubuntu or kubuntu though.
