Among all the distros, Linux Mint is claimed as the top-ranked, most desired software distributor by many websites. What makes this distro so unique and ultimate? Well, here we would discuss some of the reasons why Linux Mint is better than other distros!
Linux Mint is built upon Ubuntu software distribution base. It is the distro which can work smoothly on any hardware ranging from the oldest model to the newest one. In fact, installing Linux Mint to your old model desktop or laptop will provide it with a new refreshing life, enhancing your overall computing experience! It requires less power and resources as compared to other distros. It occupies a small amount of hard drive space and memory. Linux Mint supports the Ubiquity installer method and UEFI making installation a very simple and straightforward process. It can be downloaded effortlessly via USB or blank DVD.
The desktop appearance consists of the launcher and all the active application at the bottom panel, while the system notification can be viewed at the right side. However, you can customize your desktop using already installed striking themes. Linux Mint support widgets like applets and desklets, allowing you to have access to a wider range of exquisite themes and icons. Linux Mint supports the Cinnamon, MATE, LMDE, and Xfce desktop environment.
In contrast to other distros, the software management system of Linux Mint is very fast, convenient and loads quickly. It includes an extensive range of categories of applications and programs to choose from as per your requirement. Linux Mint provides you with useful software updater which aids you in keeping all the application, program and software up-to-date. You may not find many software updates, as Linux Mint is a little conservative about updates, resulting in less tedious system degeneration, which is a very advantageous factor for you. Nevertheless, after every few months, you are able to access and install a new version of this distributor system.
For beginners, Linux Mint is the finest option as it is the only distro that offers the choice of resetting PPA’s to default one making it easier and handier for you. Also, it has a separate PPA management tab for effective administration. In a situation where you encounter any problem, Linux Mint resolves all your problems automatically via the maintenance tab. For example, you can reset the messed up repository list to default with a single click! The services of media codec and adobe flash can be availed by selecting these tools while installation of Linux Mint in your desktop. It also includes some of the useful applications which you may need, like GIMP and VLC by default.
The only drawback of Linux Mint is that users find it dull, boring and old-fashioned. Many talented, specialized groups and partners are working with great dedication for further development of Linux Mint making it more and more capable of replacing any OS or distros! Due to distinct requirements of user’s we cannot claim any distro as the best or ultimate distro. Although it can be said that Linux Mint is one of the outstanding choices for beginners.
