Linux Mint


Last Update: 2023-07-15 23:42 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: 3 (2,059), 6 months: 2 (2,110), 3 months: 2 (2,196), 4 weeks: 2 (2,214), 1 week: 1 (2,576)

Average visitor rating: 8.75/10 from 559 review(s).

  • 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.

I have used Linux Mint for several years now, And find that it is really one of the Best Distro's out there. Its reliable, fast and Stable.The Mint team stays on top of things and makes sure that all is running smooth. I really like the way it installs the drivers for my printers and they work , i dont have this big headache of hoping they are going to print . Its like they just work out of the box. I would really recommend all Window user when its time for them to get off Windows 10, to move over to Linux Mint its a way better operating system and not all the headaches . All you need is common sense and you can go in and make alot of changes to your liking. Thank you to the Linux Mint Team .

I use the Xfce edition, which is great for really old hardware. (and even speedier on newer hardware)

I've used numerous distros over the years, but have settled on Mint in recent years, and haven't been tempted to switch since.

On computers I maintain for others, mostly Windows users, but some Mac users, I set up desktop shortcuts to Firefox and LibreOffice and so far nobody has been lost as to what to do. (4 years of that)

While the Ubuntu base was originally a good thing, Mint came about because of some unpopular decisions made by Ubuntu...and I suspect I will eventually switch to the LMDE version as it stabilizes. (Although, of course, if Mint suddenly makes some unpopular moves in the future, I could end up switching again...but so far this hasn't been needed.)

Linux Mint is a last 10 years may only distro, which perfectly fits to all my needs. Excellent possibilities to manage kernels, drivers, and repos. Flatpak is a very viable alternative to the PPA's. But mainly, Linux Mint is distro with extremely smooth and reliable upgrade procedure. And, at the end, integration of TimeShift app guarantee to user very simple way how to restore whole OS to the latest fully functional state.

I'm just testing LMDE 6 beta, because dependence on Ubuntu is more and more difficult task, and yes LMDE is now not so perfect as LM 21.2, but in the future (1-2 years) will be LMDE the only way how to avoid recent terrible Ubuntu developments. So, LM/LMDE is an exceptional distro for anybody who is looking for reliable and yet simple Linux distribution.
