Proprietary drivers and package managers don't tend to work well for the most part.

Nuking the partition followed by "sudo update-grub" in your Netrunner 12 installation should do the trick. I don't know if there's a "proper" way to do it, but that's how I know to do it off the top of my head. (Running "update-grub" from a live disc is also possible, though substantially harder since you have to fake the live OS into operating on the actual hard drive rather than itself [this is done via chroot if you know what that is].)

Linux Mint, like most other popular Linux distros, offers long term support. Mint 17 will be supported until 2019. I use Mint Debian myself.
