I've used Linux Mint ever since then, and always been impressed with its easy of setup and common sense approach to its use, its rock solid security, and its commitment to 'staying out of my way' while accommodating whatever I needed it to do. Over the years Mint has handled everything from high end graphic design projects to the most common daily driver tasks, and has handled everything in between without breaking a sweat or causing undue alarm. During much of this time my work had to seamlessly interface with the Windows and Mac apps others were using in the graphic design arena. From its earliest days Mint, with the WINE compatibility layer installed, let me work with my favorite Photoshop and Illustrator apps as simply as others did with Windows or Mac. Today, using these long time favorite Adobe apps alongside Inkscape, Krita, and Gimp in Mint 22.3, there's nothing truly lacking graphic design wise. Looking forward to Mint's improved release schedule allowing for an increased ability to integrate new technologies into its upcoming Ubuntu and Debian based releases. With Clem at the helm there's no doubt we'll see the sort of improvements that enhance Mint's claim to its long time "Ubuntu done Right" nickname, and quite possibly adding "Debian done Right" with its LMDE release!

Compared to Windows and certain other operating systems and distributions, it offers a far greater degree of customizability and simplicity. It is an excellent choice of distribution for software developers and for those who do not play graphics-intensive games. Among the features I particularly liked are its interface—which is both very simple and highly customizable—and its exceptional speed; I haven't encountered any issues whatsoever. As for features I disliked, there aren't any yet. Although working with the terminal may seem daunting to some, I personally find installing applications via the terminal—especially in this day and age—to be much easier and faster. The fact that Linux Mint is fast, simple, open-source, customizable, and high-quality is truly excellent; I highly recommend it. Was this review helpful?
