12 years with linux then you definitely have to try archlinux.  I jumped 
into arch after just 3 years of dabbling with Fedora,Ubuntu, and mint. 
If you read the beginners arch wiki page properly setting archlinux will 
be as fast as installing xubuntu or anyother distro(barring the download 
time).
Archlinux by default doesn't come with any DE or WM. You have to install 
and set everything up as per your needs. That's what i liked about 
archlinux.
