Linux Mint is an operating system that can be used as a replacement for Windows software. It is based on Ubuntu while making several upgrades to the system. This process is carried on by an ever-expanding community utilizing the open-source nature of the OS.

Control the basics!

There are many options available for operating systems and Linux is a spicy option.

Mint comes in two different styles, Cinnamon and Mate. The first of these is the more up-to-date version and the simplest to use. Mate is harder but utilizes less of the hardware. The OS is free and open-source, in contrast to the private and pricey nature of Windows.

One of the features is the low requirements on the hardware. Both Windows 10 and Ubuntu use significant amounts of your computer’s memory and RAM. It also has a much smaller size, which is comparable to Manjaro.

Linux Mint has a simple interface that users find easy to adjust to. However, the updates are quite frequent and must be done manually. These upgrades keep you from needing to use an anti-virus or computer protection.

Where can you run this program?

You can install it onto any Windows-based computer.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes, Manjaro is a great option as it is just as beginner friendly and performs a bit better. Unbuntu and Windows do not count as great alternatives because Linux Mint outperforms them in every way.

Our take

Linux is a good option for those who are interested in having an OS that has a lighter impact on their hardware. It is free of charge and open-source with a simple user interface.

Should you download it?

Yes, you should download Mint if you are looking for a new operating system.
