Linux Mint is an operating system based on the Linux distribution Ubuntu.

Linux Mint is an operating system based on the Linux distribution Ubuntu.

The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use.

List of features:

  • works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use;
  • both free of cost and open-source;
  • community-driven;
  • based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers;
  • safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware...etc).
