Haven't tried those distros. (my distro hopping days are OVER)
Before Qiana, Nemo (Mint's forked Nautilus), Cinnamon's prefs panels, some 3rd party toolkits, they all got scrolling wrong. Lots of apps got it right too, but enough was wrong that the trackpad was pretty irritating to use.
Now, in Qiana, everything seems to work. (well, the physics aren't there, like flinging to scroll feels pretty dead, but it's not bad)
Based on that, I'd guess that Ubuntu Trusty would work great, likely Fedora 20 too. Guessing no for Debian stable or testing, but maybe unstable would be good.

Finally the Apple Magic Trackpad works everywhere. Even offers battery warnings. Nice!
Mint+Cinnamon is a great desktop. It's saving me from being 100% Mac.
"Finally the Apple Magic Trackpad works everywhere."
Is this solution something mint-specific? e.g. can I install whatever makes this possible on an Ubuntu or Debian distro?

Ah, the benefits of choice...
