Developer’s Description

By Linux Mint Team

Provide an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation.

Linux Mint is composed of many software packages, of which the vast majority are distributed under a free software license (also known as open source). The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software. Linux Mint is funded by its community of users. Individual users and companies using the operating system act as donors, sponsors and partners of the distribution. The financial support from the community helps to keep Linux Mint free and open source, thereby allowing the project to focus on improving the operating system without engaging in commercial activities.

Now is deprecated
James DenisonOctober 12, 2015
Pros
Great in it's day.
Cons
Version 10 is now deprecated. The repository for it is no longer available. The current version as of date is 17.2 and an excellent desktop solution and replacement for Windows XP. I've used it as my main system since 2014, abandoning XP before it's support expired for Linux Mint after finding out how easy it was, and came with Firefox and Thunderbird too.
Summary
Linux Mint 10 is dead, but the later versions are among the best transition systems for former windows users. It's also been rated #1 at Distrowatch dot com, a clearing house for all linux versions, for almost two years running now. The closest to it now is Debian and Unbuntu. If you want to leave windows, or have an operating system for an older computer that won't run windows 8 or above, then Linux Mint is what you want.
Refreshing experience.

Pros
Easy to install. If you can set your bios to boot from a CD or USB drive, you van install Mint. Works with most hardware. Everything on my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge works automatically. The interface, Cinnamon, is intuitive to anyone who has used windows before. Customizing the look and feel of the desktop and panel is also quite simple. The included office software can create and handle microsoft office format documents as well as PDF's and more. The software center includes thousands of additional applications you can download for free to handle your pictures, play some games or do just about anything else you would like.
Cons
My usb bluetooth adapter connects to remote speaker, but will not send the signal to the speaker. Bluetooth is one area where linux support is lacking still. Most commercial software is not ported to work with linux. Although I was able to download SuperTuxKart from the software center, I am not able to play my favorite game on Mint. :-(
Summary
Mint is a well polished and very functional operating system that will do nearly anything I ask of it. It is very stable on my Lenovo laptop and is just a joy to use. And, I love that it does not ask me constantly "do you really want to do that" when I click on a button. Thank you to the Mint developers for all the hard work and for a great product.
v10.0 was good, but v14 is a true OS contender
May 29, 2013
Pros
MATE desktop interface is clean, classic and a refreshing world away from the "app" and "tiles" world most OSes including Windows and the latest Ubuntu Desktop versions are moving to. It includes just about every single piece of software needed for daily computing "out of the box". Very little needs to be added except for any specialty applications you may use.
Cons
Hey It's Linux and not Windows, so expect a little more DIY. It won't run Windows applications directly. Installing WINE provides an avenue for running certain applications, but it's hit or miss at best. However, installing Oracle VM VirtualBox will solve the compatibility conundrum for most. You can install and run a full version of Windows (or any other OS) in a virtual machine that adeptly handles its task.
Summary
Linux Mint has what it takes to become a serious OS contender. While the standard Ubuntu distributions continue to stray toward the more popular trends of the day, Mint keeps it fresh by adding new features but still keeping maximum usability. If I were a major OS software company, I'd keep an eye on this little bugger. Those of us who are becoming tired of what the big guys offering up these days might just decide a refreshing Mint is just what is needed.
Good alternative to Win7
AirWarriorJune 12, 2012
Pros
Like MAC OS
Cons
Learning curve (I'm 5/10 knowledgable)
Summary
Very good alternative OS
Crappy OS, so unstable and has lots of bugs.
Win2KFanJune 6, 2012
Pros
Easier to use than other Linux distros?
Cons
3249823094809234 bugs Resource eater Crappy kernel Instability Kernel Panics all the time Incompatible with everything I have. ATI drivers are SOOO hard to install (except my old ATI Radeon 9550, which was easy to install) ...
Summary
It sucks.
Good to Learn an OS
rgorNovember 29, 2011
Pros
Fast, no nonsense easy to use. A great way to learn Linux and become an expert. You can't go wrong and once you learn what you need, it will make you look like an expert.
Cons
1. ATI drivers were difficult to install 2. Some websites are not compatible with linux versions of firefox 3. Flash is an issue in terms of its behavior on chrome 4. If you run into trouble, you are at the mercy of the community.
Summary
Great alternative OS, works great and free. Easy to Install You can learn w/o messing up windows Be prepared to learn and you will get better, if you want things to work and are not into computers then you should avoid linux based os especially if you have windows based applications for work such as Kareo.
This is the best all-around distro I have ever used.
rh5018May 25, 2010
Pros
Mint is very user-friendly, and with over 30,000 packages, has thousands more than most distros. It has great hardware support-the wireless JUST WORKED. That has always been a big problem with Linux on laptops, but not anymore. It has a great look.
Cons
No real easy way to install a ATI graphics driver, and as far as I know-no easy way to use an external display when connected using S-video port. I'm not, by any measure, a Linux expert, so maybe I'm just too novice to figure the display issue out.
Summary
If you are an advanced Linux user- you will certainly like Mint. If you are a semi-advanced user- you will love it. If you have never used Linux ever before- you will be amazed, and probably converted. It requires almost NO knowledge of command-line interface, and a Windows or Mac user can easily jump right in and feel right at home. Actually- at a much better home. I am a Linux user for life because of Mint, and as soon as Netflix supports Linux, I'm done with Windows forever.Start using Linux and learn Chinese, or you will be left behind with Microsomethin'.
