I have a tip for the Arch, Manjaro or Antergos users in the audience. After having played around with Manjaro for a while, I developed a bit of a preference for pacman over apt-get, but since this is a Linux Mint centered show, I found a script called PacApt that creates aliases within bash for all the apt-get commands so you can use both the commands for apt-get and pacman interchangably. This also works with RPM based distros using YUM according to the Lifehacker article that I found this in. (lifehacker.com)
I also found the Pacman Rosetta page on the Arch Wiki to be helpful as it shows a chart with the equivalent commands in apt-get, pacman, yum, zypper, the gentoo package manager emerge, and the old Suse package manager rug. I thought this might help people like me who have really only used apt-get and are just starting to play around with other distro bases. (Arch Wiki Rosetta)
