Linux Mint


Last Update: 2025-01-14 23:23 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: 1 (2,604), 6 months: 1 (2,875), 3 months: 1 (2,872), 4 weeks: 1 (2,730), 1 week: 2 (2,663)

Average visitor rating: 8.78/10 from 825 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.

Linux mint wokrs on my performance notebook and my son's old notebook. My performance notebook series: Lenovo LOQ i7 and 64RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and and Lenovo Legion i7 32RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060.
I am an AI Engineer and everything works. Also I used PopOS same notebook thats great.
Linux Mint some importants notes:
* Multiple or triple monitor(27 and 32 inch ) works great
* bluetooth (airpods, samsung galaxy buds, keyboards and mouse) works great
* GPU(nividia) works great
* development tools(jetbrains and vs-code)
Thanks Linux Mint Team

Mint used to be a very slim distro suitable for old computers.
It is not so much anymore. Instead it got a lot of new design and features mostly well built for Cinnamon.
I like the Xfce desktop a lot better but it has a lower priority and can sometimes even seem to be a little suppressed in Mint.
The install procedure is easy and very tempting also for putting Mint on the same disk as Windows.
However in my experience the technical foundation is not always reliable enough, and that can sometimes make an install too risky. A distro with inadequate technical support is in my opinion not worth much.

I have a couple PC's I just installed Linux Mint on. A Samsung Galaxy Book 4 and a Lenovo Ideacentre Mini.
All positives with both installations, everything works and it is so nice to see RAM use come way down from what Windows 11 was using. I was beyond being done with Microsoft and its incompetent Windows team.
Been using Windows since the 3.11 edition but I cannot look past the mess that is Windows 11. Windows 10 really was not so bad but its near the end so I had to find a alternative. I tried Ubuntu and had no issues other then I am not a fan of Gnome flavored Linux distro's. Cinnamon in Mint compares far more to what I grew up with in Windows UI. It just feels more familiar to me and navigating Mint reminds me so much of Windows 7 days. I have dabbled in Linux desktops for years but never decided to fully switch until Windows 11. No OS is perfect but I kept finding less and less reasons to stick with Windows. Most of what I do is within browsers and applications available on both Windows and Linux. Making the switch these days is easier then maybe even 5 years ago. Can't recommend Mint enough and its simple enough to make a USB bootable of Mint and try it out before ever installing it.
