Mint was designed as a desktop environment as an analog to MS Windows. Much of the user interface was put together with that in mind. Previous windows users will find a transition from Windows to Mint to be pretty intuitive and user friendly. The installation processes walks you right through and being linux, it runs fantastically on machines with older hardware. It's a great way to give some additional life to your machine.

Being Linux, Mint still has all the supreme functionality, security and performance that you would expect from Linux. You just get it in a prettier package.

The software is opensource and free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The real downside is that to get the most of it you'll want to learn to use the Linux command line. Most everything the average user would want is in the User Interface somewhere, but Linux often requires the install or configuration of things that are better done through a terminal window.

I personally don't see that as a downside, but trying to get my wife or grandma to do it is another story.

Aside from that, there is basically no product support. In general you are on your own to search the web and solve problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most notable disadvantages are its lack of a device manager, its tendency to not keep up with new technologies and implementations and that even if it is based on Ubuntu, it doesn't keep up with its latest updates and being so different makes it so that not everything that works in one may work in the other Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linux mint is a light distro on Linux and provides everything you need from an operating system.

While Linux mint is great for day-to-day use, the primary thing that I dislike about mint is that the UI for Bluetooth devices is not that great, and you have to use the terminal every time you want to connect to Bluetooth devices which can be troublesome to non linux users.
