Linux Mint


Last Update: 2024-07-23 13:49 UTC

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a classic desktop experience with many convenient, custom tools and optional out-of-the-box multimedia support. It also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories. Besides its Ubuntu-based flavour, the project also produces a separate "Debian" edition (called LMDE), based on the latest stable Debian version.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 2 (2,195), 6 months: 2 (2,294), 3 months: 1 (2,350), 4 weeks: 2 (2,254), 1 week: 2 (2,272)

Average visitor rating: 8.75/10 from 732 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Mint is handsdown the best distro out there. And not just for those who transition from windows, but for anyone looking for any kind of work to be done on their computers. I'm mainly a gamer, and games run super-duper-butter-smooth on this baby. I've distrohopped alot, and by alot I mean a lot lot lot lot and even more of that. Mint was my entry linux back in 2022(ish) when I permanently formatted windows off my drives. Then I used Mint, for almost a year. Then for whatever reason I went "offroad" to try out different distros out there, but eventually you see, I came back to what I like to call as: HOME! For me, Mint is like a Home at christmas night, next to a cozy fireplace: that gives shelter, safety, reliability, robustness, trust, and so on. There is no negative side for mint actually. My printer works out of the box, my wireless too, nvidia gtx 1050 with proprietary drivers aswell! Codecs are installed at the installation process of distro. The operating system is ready to use out of the box, but you can tweak it to your likings. Then the widgets, applets and such, you can customize your desktop to high heavens. I prefer to keep it simple, so I use the default looks, because I'm very fine with it. Also, after you installed Mint, it welcomes you with a nice and friendly guide welcome screen, that will lead you through key steps for initial setup of your distro. Then it just goes away, and the distro will never stand in your way. You'll focus on your work, and not troubleshooting like on many other distros. Oh and also, the software center tailored for specifically Mint itself, is going to find any package that you'd find via apt, because it has the appstream (or whatever its called) built-in which is wonderful imho, because I don't even have to touch the terminal at all. Everything I do on Mint, is through GUI, which is very comfy and safe, because I know I won't screw up my system. And lastly: Timeshift, which is maintained by Mint team yet again, is a very good tool, and comes preinstalled, so you can make backups as snapshots, if you ever need to rollback for whatever reason (I never had to rollback, that's how much Mint rock stable is)!

 Impressed to some degree with Mint 22 as far as stability and driver support. Everything works on my laptop a Dell Inspiron 3520. But for the life of me, I could not get my Canon TS8300 series printer to work. It recognizes the printer when I try to add it. But has issues with CUPS driver installing. First Linux distribution where I had my printer not automatically detected and this printer is fairly new and not some old relic from the past. This will most likely cause me to abandon Mint for another distro that can easily detect the printer.

 bsolutely stable distribution with intuitive desktop (Cinnamon), although that is of course a matter of taste. I have been using Mint for several years in the latest version. Upgrades from one major version to the next usually work. It has everything you need at first, especially a good file explorer and tools (e.g. file renaming for multiple files at once) out of the box. I have tested many others (including Ubuntu, MX Linux, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda), but I always come back to Mint. Only the Ubuntu base is occasionally annoying, but the criticism is directed at Ubuntu. Maybe one day I'll switch to the Debian edition.
