Linux Mint


Last Update: 2023-10-04 15:02 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 (2,108), 6 months: 2 (2,137), 3 months: 2 (2,149), 4 weeks: 2 (1,954), 1 week: 2 (1,809)

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.

I've done a bit of distro-hopping but always return to Mint. Everything works out of the box without a lot of fiddling to get wifi etc., working. I automatically finds and installs printers on any network connected. The 'web apps' feature makes any website into an app that is easily visited with a single click. Linux Mint is perfect for any computer new or old. It even keeps my old MacBooks right up to date with the latest software and security. I love Linux Mint and can't understand why everyone doesn't adopt it. It's highly recommended.

Like most I'm sure, I've been a long time Windows user. I never knew at the time I had options until around 12 years ago when someone let me try out Ubuntu. I was amazed at how snappy everything was and I learned the existence of Linux for the first time. Despite all of this I didn't switch to Linux on my main PC for a long time, I had to sacrifice playing most games and that was too tall of an order for me at the time. Fast forward until just a few years ago and I was getting tired of Microsoft's telemetry abuse and woke ideology, I started searching for options and tried SO MANY distros but nothing kept me from returning to Windows for gaming. All that changed when LMDE6 released, no Ubuntu elements, no telemetry, and no unnecessary virtue signaling. No longer do I need to go online to find software at the risk of infecting my PC, and everything just f$*^ing works! I no longer have to give up gaming thanks to Lutris, Heroic, and other services and tools available.

For those who want to escape Microsoft's clutches, I cannot recommend LMDE6 enough. Try it in a VM or bare metal and I'm sure you'll be surprised I'm sure.

Thank You Mint Team!

As a long time linux user (started using suse linux back in 2000) I was always a bit skeptical about Linux Mint - quite wrongly, as I found out. Because I switched from Debian to Linux Mint about a year ago. For me, Mint is the logical further development of Debian for user PCs or laptops. And where Canonical made the wrong decisions in my opinion, Linux Mint follows a sympathetic and user-friendly direction. So far I have not used a distro that comes from "one mold" like Mint. I use it as my every day driver and its rocking rock solid!
