all of this beside security wise and how can you impelemnt any plateform and install softwares and packedges easly with a minimum experience

Also works very well with multimedia support and is extremely easy to use,

i wont remind you its free of cost and open source plus its safe and reliable,

It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Just like other operating systems need some enhancement in GUI,performance to work with all types of machines also still talk about the terminal and how hard to keep writing to get anything

you may have some difficulty to find linux commands but if you used a linux book it can make it easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
