Introductionis one of the top free operating systems widely used in the world and currently receives the highest hits at.Even though it's an Ubuntu-based system, Linux Mint features only one panel at the bottom which looks closer to the taskbar in the traditional Windows system, and a well-organized start menu complete with a useful Search box. Upon installation, you can opt for some proprietary software such as necessary media codecs by default so that you play mp3, mp4 or most other media files with a player right away out of the box.Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) is a long-term service (LTS) release which will be supported until 2021 according to the developer.The MATE Edition of Linux Mint 18 is based on a Linux kernel 4.4 and an Ubuntu 16.04 package, and features 1.14 and MDM display manager 2.0. Unlike Ubuntu Unity sporting a vertical launcher on the left side of the screen, MATE maintains a traditional layout with a bottom panel and a Mint menu.
If you're using this Edition, you might find these tips and tricks useful for working with the system on a PC. I am a 'Windows man' since Windows 3 and have been a programmer and database administrator from 1964 into the early 2000s. I have access to an older Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with 2x2.1Ghz cpu, 4GB RAM and a 320GB HDD; the machine was shipped by Dell in November 2009 with Windows Vista 32-bit.Here and in other places I keep reading that Linux Mint is such a great thing as a Windows replacement so I tried it today on that small 7 years old laptop. I had the interest and took the time to 'try' Mint Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE on it, all in 64-bit edition(s).The following are my admittedly totally un-scientific impressions, they do not represent any judgement on quality, stability or the like and I did not do any time measurements.I must say I am impressed and at the same time sort of deflated.Cinnamon and Mate offered me in Driver Update a required proprietary Broadcomm diver for the wireless card in an easy to understand and easy to handle GUI.

XFCE needed in Driver Update some more 'fiddling' but with a little bit of trial and error I got it to install the driver.Either Mate or Cinnamon (I did not write it down, sorry) had in their menu two 'typical' Linux insider oriented programs names, stuff like Banshee and Corealis(?) withOUT any comment or hint about what these programs are for. BAD style and definitely a turn off for computer illiterate end users.XFCE seems to come with the Whisker(?) menu, definitely a HUGE plus! IMHO the best menu I have seen in a long time.Installation for Cinnamon and Mate editions seemed to have taken longer to finish than for XFCE. Just an old electronics tech, 63. Switched to linux about 3 years ago and have tried probably 30 distros. Every glitch you mentioned has happened to me, with the exception of linux lite. I am trying Mint Mate 18.3 as I type on a seperate hdd.
Panel icons keep moving after reboot, wifi with broadcom was a mess, expected but had to jump through the usual hoops with Mint, Cinnamon XFCE and Mate. Since 2.0 on linux lite, I can count on 1 hand the problems except for those I caused by experimentation. Oh well, back to the other hdd with lite 3.8. Thanks. or to post comments.
Obviously it depends on what you expect from a distro but in preference to Mint (Cinnamon DE) I would recommend giving Makulu LinDoz version a try. Although the 2018 build is a development release, I've not managed to break anything with it yet.
It's fast to use and highly tweaked out of the box.Alternatively, my everyday system is MX-17 which runs flawlessly including Compiz, Emerald and Cairo Dock for lovers of the best eye candy Linux has to offer, plus it's unbreakable.Regards - MC - Site Manager. or to post comments.
