"Excellent Operating System"
What do you like best about Linux Mint?

This version of Linux is easy for Microsoft Windows users to use and figure out. Mint has the drivers and software that I use every day.

I enjoy the software and system update facility. Everything is able to be updated via the graphical "Update Manager". Updates can be set to automatically download and apply without user intervention if desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Once in a while with new hardware and the kernel version I want to run a driver may not be available. This can be mitigated by building a driver for the kernel and hardware. This does take a little time and research so I'm writing about this in the "what do you dislike" section. However, this is really something I like is that nearly anything is possible with this OS.

"A great OS for developer who is coming from Windows"
