"Lightweight, Windows-Like Linux Mint That Runs Great on Low-End Devices"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Linux Mint?

Linux Mint is a very lightweight OS. I can run it on very low-end devices because its requirements are minimal, and it isn’t as resource-hungry as other operating systems. The UI is similar to Windows, so using Linux Mint feels fairly straightforward—moderate in difficulty and not too hard to learn. I can install software through the provided Linux Mint store, and I’m also able to install both development tools and hacking-related software which best for developer. best part is they provide everything free of cost.

What do you dislike about Linux Mint?

Some software isn’t available in the store, so we need to install it using Linux commands. That means we have to know Linux commands to make full use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Linux Mint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Linux Mint provides a very lightweight OS that I can run even on very old hardware. Since it’s a Linux-based OS, I can also install hacking tools that are available in Kali Linux, along with development tools. They also provide a UI similar to Windows, so it isn’t very difficult to use. The best part is that they include mostly free tools, like LibreOffice, GIMP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
