About Linux Mint

Linux Mint is an operating system, which enables businesses to run a variety of free and open-source applications. It provides long-term support (LTS) releases, which lets users maintain a stable release of computer software for longer durations than the standard edition.

The Linux distribution system allows software developers to share source codes with other users and close networking ports using a firewall system. Linux Mint helps administrators detect other operating systems and create a boot menu to streamline system booting processes. Professionals can use the package manager to download additional software by adding a source to the source file in the system directory.

Linux Mint offers a variety of pre-installed applications such as LibreOffice, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Firefox, HexChat, VLC media player, Transmission, and more. The platform is available in the form of an ISO file, enabling users to make a bootable DVD or USB stick.

Great for rookies

Reviewed on 2024/10/28

Pros

Great for rookies to Linux, you just slap it onto a thumb drive and you can easily boot into it, installation is just a simple double click of an icon on the dashboard and maybe a little bit of meddling if you want to dual boot

Cons

It can be a little too user-friendly, so it's not best used for individuals who are far more experienced with Linux

One of the Simpler Distroes

Reviewed on 2023/06/06

Pros

Its simplicity is its main aspect for its usage. Unlike others like Arch its not that complicated, and it is open-source unlike Ubuntu.

Cons

Like other Linux distroes it still lacks in programs that are windows only.

I have a Core I5 11500 PC with NVidia 1660 super overclocked video card. I have a HP laserjet printer and an Epson scanner. It all works perfectly on Linux Mint.

Pros

Linux Mint works. It is free. It keeps everything up to date. I can edit photos and videos without paying subscription fees.

Cons

In the last couple of years I think almost any issue has been solved. I can't think of any problems with Linux Mint.
