"Easy to use - even for Windows users!"
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

* It runs on lower spec hardware than Windows 10.

* Most of the applications I use are included in the Linux Mint distro, and are updated automatically.

* Chrome/Chromium and Firefox browsers, Thunderbird email client and Rednotebook are included in the installation.

* Based on Ubuntu Linux, so there is plenty of documentation for compatible packages.

* Simple installation process for Linux Mint that can overwrite Windows, or coexist with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

* SAS software is available for Linux Mint, but is more expensive to licence than on Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compatible with old PC and Debian"
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

Linux Mint is designed for low and high-PC users; it has three flavors available on the official website to download and install immediately without manually modifying the system.

Mint is capable of compiling software from other services, and the Cinnamon version is the most stable for a PC today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Linux Mint has lost qualities regarding the use of low-resource PCs, it needs more and more, and the use of the HDD is inefficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Everything looks okay for me since I hace never faced any issue with my clients Mint machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the fastest and lightweight OS"
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

I use the cinnamon flavor of the Linux mint. The best thing about this distro OS is that it is based on Ubuntu and Debian. Linux mint is an open-source and lightweight OS. It is very easy to install and takes less installation time than windows. It has an easy-to-use interface and can easily be customized according to our needs. It is somewhat similar to Windows, making it easy to use for Windows users too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

This OS is not for gamers as it is lightweight, so it has some limitations regarding GUI. There are some issues in installation with some pcs, like mismatched kernel, some features not being available etc. We can't upgrade our system without taking backup as it fails sometimes.

"Good lightweight distro."
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

It is a lightweight distro with a very intuitive interface. Coming from Windows and MacOS it was easy to install and get going. For me its a good introduction to Linux with good pre-packaged programs and easy to use software store to directly download some of the most common programs without the need to know commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Because it is so lightweight, it's also missing quite a few dependencies, making the use of the sudo apt install command a bit more challenging for someone new to Linux like myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Operating system for low-resource PCs"
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

Linux Mint is special for its different desktops included in the different versions available on the website, version control and Debian-based LTS for a more efficient and knowledgeable work for the basic user and new to the Linux world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

I have some problems with the latest version of Mint, mounting Windows partitions and those of the EXT4 system doesn't do it, it gives an error and I can't access my files.

During the session blocking for user security, the PC responds slowly when the user starts the session.

I have to look for an old version of Mitn to solve these problems and the constant updates do not help to correct the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
