ubuntu is the easiest linux version has ever created, this Mint linux has the same features as ubuntu and even ubuntu looks and uses better, maybe you like Mint than ubuntu, its user requirements, thanks for the video.
I am currently on Linux Mint 8 and at work on my HP I have Mint 7. Let me just say that this is the only real distro that I like and Opensuse wasn't bad. However the most impressive thing about it is that my wireless (atheros) got picked up straight away and now networking is a breeze in linux. Literally it was a breeze and all my touch volume control and everything works perfectly. I also noticed you still get a GUI even if you don't have the Nvidia drivers and then even that is easy. MINT!!
There's always one problem or another that stops me from using Linux. I came to Mint after frustration with Ubuntu, in particular, it just would NOT connect my MacBook to my home wireless.
SURPRISINGLY, both Ubuntu & Mint connected fine in LiveDisk mode; I just had to activate the non-free, proprietary Broadcom STA wireless driver
BUT..
After a full installation of Mint, you'd expect activating that driver would be a breeze, right? WRONG. As in Ubuntu, I JUST CANNOT connect to my wireless
And my sour impression of Mint doesn't stop there: the welcome messages invited feedback, and presented a chat room for Mint users. Cool, I thought. I'll pop in and ask and I'll be fine. This sure beats "Ubuntu Babuntu" .. I was wrong. Even before I'd typed anything, I got the message: YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED!
Banned? For what?
To hell with Linux .. I've been trying for years to make it my only system .... no way will ANY kind of Linux EVER be ready for prime time
Most linux distros are free. Simply download a live cd burn and try or install. Its not as easy to use as windows or mac its a lil more complicate but if you go with ubuntu or kubuntu its not too bad. And if you should use it is up to you. The good about linux its free,fast,customizable,different and you can do all the basics on it. The bad it just has alot of compatability issues.
The flash player in Mint is bad. Playing youtube videos instead of being ablt to click the progress bar on the video r the play/pause button to do what you want you'll have to press the button 5-6 times for it to register.
@amountstax4 ya the default player is bad but a recent update i applied solved it. It's getting their a couple more years and it will be a real market competitor. The start menu in mint is the best of all the operating systems. It has the best open source software obviously.
I would never change completely to Linux. I use too many important Windows based applications. I don't feel like messing around with WINE. I have my computer partitioned with Microsoft Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.10. Believe it or not people Vista Home Premium Lite actually runs smoother and faster than Ubuntu 9.10 on 512mb ram.
ha, you mean you are a gamer!? i can appreciate that, the only reason i dual boot with Linux is for games. wine has a lot of overhead and is buggy, but 95% of the time I'm using Linux, for pretty much everything else.
in synaptic search for recordmydesktop :).....................................
very nice linux every one should try this one,very simple for use , maybe the easyest one for win users to pass on linux and to explore this awsome OS.
I love Ubuntu and all but for some reason Linux Mint seems like it makes Ubuntu more complete and you can still download from the Ubuntu respositories if you can't find what you're looking for in the mintinstall so thats a plus :) plus it seems more responsive, quicker, solid and stable. Highly recommended! :)
should i try this? I hate almost every windows OS except xp and im tired of it... o and can it get compatible with things such as wireless net or adapters?
Yeah, that will be good. Linux Mint is easy for everyone, including newbies like us. I installed it on my laptop and works fine, recognized everything, even my card reader and bluetooth device!!! Also, Mint looks beautiful, 100% Recommended.
Two weeks ago I installed Windows 7 (upgrade from XP) on my old Qosmio F20 laptop with 2GHz Pentium M CPU & 1GB of RAM. It seems that Windows 7 is faster and more responsive than XP on my laptop.
Mint is the greatest distro ever made. I'm serious, I NEVER have felt this way. Been using it for months. I've used many other distros for years on end. This was possibly the first time that I actually felt absolutely complete with a distro.
lol Same here. I've went from Ubuntu ( as people talk highly about it ) and certain things didn't work ( like my webcam and some other things ) then I went to Fedora ( cuz I figured it's the distro with the latest stuff ) but it was a pain to get the net to connect wirelessly to it.
Then I got Mint and was instantly satisfied. Everything works and is super easy to install & uninstall ( right clicking then choosing install...ahhh )
The way I see Mint is: It's Ubuntu -> Perfected. : )
who gives a crap about the default theme.. this is the 3rd video where i have heard this is better than ubuntu...ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! who keeps the default longer than the time it takes to change it....
yeah I recommend it cause it seems in linux mint theres better codecs that didn't work in Ubuntu that worked for certain videos on Mint so yeah I'd go for it plus i've noticed Mint is alot snappier and quick.
lol better than ubuntu, this is ubuntu based, just come with different interface, and with plugin already installed...you can have the same things on ubuntu.
is nothing more than ubuntu, is just a rip off, as there are many out there, like gOS.
the thing is they know its not that good its only free for people who dont have the apple or windows opperating system its free because it has not much security updates also it lacks features.
Well, since it's open source, you can modify it to have as many features as you want! Instead of bashing it, maybe you should actually try it. If you are still too stubborn and closed-minded to not try it, get BSD. Mac OS X is based upon BSD so, you might want to try it.
Well, here's the cool thing! You can try Linux without installing it on your computer using a LiveCD! LiveCD's run the operating system just from a CD. It will not make any changes to your computer. Just search on Google, "Linux LiveCD".
"well has it ever crossed your mind that i have to much important things on my pc to try it ."
If you are talking about files, just use an external hardrive to transfer. You can also partition your harddrive, and use files from your windows partition through linux. If it is programs you are worried about, keep in mind that for every windows program there is typically two to three linux programs that fulfill the same function. I suggest doing what the other guy said, try a livecd
Yeah I agree nice theme and the wallpaper is sperm cells attempting to enter the egg lol I just pirated vista(Ultimate) 32 Bit (I can get 64 bit but I choose not to) but I'm going to buy it later for my new build
vista is the worst OS ms has released so far (good thing i didn't pay for it). Hopefuly windows 7 will be better. linux is lighter, faster, more pleasant and free.
yeah and they didn't even made a good rip. vista ultimate is like 300$ and linux is still more stable and pleasant to work with. If games and software would be made to be compatible to both windows and linux (like ut2004) windows would be long forgotten.
Depends what you like, there are over 100 distro's of linux, and i'd say go for openSUSE / Ubuntu / Mint, but KEEP your windows XP on a dual / triple /..4boots :P
There is three mainstream OSs that people know about and use. Windows, OSX, and Linux. The fact is that Linux is mainstream were BSD or Unix is not. Oh, and don't say that Linux is unix because it is not.
Haha! I must agree. The animations are just one of the many reasons that I adore Linux. I mean, Windows is great, but something about Linux is just amazing. It looks good, and it works good, too. =]
i hate the automatic update thing that is so anoying gah its like i can update my system when i feel like it i dont need some gay ass memory hogging updater manager downloading updates in the background they need to get rid of that shit
I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and like it. BUT, I have a Linux Mint CD that my friend made for me before I installed Ubuntu. He said to check it out. I did, and I decided to install Ubuntu. For some reason, Compiz Fusion isn't as laggy as it is in Ubuntu! I think I'll install Mint.
Linux Mint is based of Ubuntu. I can't say Ubuntu is better, but it does have a much larger community. What i didn't like about Ubuntu is all the updates you have to install. Linux Mint's updates don't take so long + you get Adobe Flashplayer and Compiz and lots of other stuff wich you don't get with Ubuntu.
downloading this now.. im soooo tired of windows xp.. used it for years, its been great.. but its time for a change.. hope this is good. if not i can always get windows 7
I took this vid's advice & and I'm now trying LinuxMint, and I have to say I prefer Ubuntu.
One of the problems: right now, Mintinstall is stuck at 20% in trying to install Wine; it's been that way for hours.
At least one other (really vital) thing doesn't work, and it's making run back to Ubuntu (which I ALSO use as nothing more than an experimental system).
I abandoned "gOS Rocket" because I accidentally deleted many files--BUT THERE WAS NO "Recycle Bin" TO GET THEM BACK!
linux mint is based off of ubuntu, basically it is ubuntu with more apps that a for specific things, so if there is a flaw, it may be that the cd you burned was corrupted or that you did something wrong. if you use sudo apt-get install wine, and that froze, then try getting the deb file from the internet..
I'm almost 100% sure the CD wasn't corrupted because I checked it for defects.
Thanks for the tip ... actually, I just looked at your YT page and it seems like you could be an authority on all things Linux.
Oh, would you know how to get dual monitors on an Ubuntu system working? I tried with a Dell laptop (c.2004) and an analog monitor, but I couldn't get it to work, and nothing on the Net really helped.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, what an appalling demonstration video ever. I learnt nothing except to give linux a very wide berth, and that this person should never be aloud to make another video. In fact this should be held up as an example on how not to make a video, truly awful.
I've come over from PclinuxOS and Ubuntu to mint and i too think it works really good. It fully found all of my hardware, it setup really quickly and its stable.
I'm actually hoping to try this on my Vaio laptop at some point... i'll keep ya'll posted!
GNU - I just came over from XP, and will never go back.
I tried Mandriva, Ubuntu, E-Live Gem, Dream, Knoppix, and a few others. None of them picked up my hardware like Mint.
i installed, and my printer just popped up completely configured. Hooked my 200 Gig hd to it, and can access all files. My cell phone, flash drive, DSL connection - same story. I installed, and they were there.
I agree Linux Mint seems to have better plug and play and seems a little more faster and stable than Ubuntu. Gotta definitly like the software portal that comes with it.
My only question is about the WIFI. how stable is it? Ubuntu is really pissing me off and I am a hairs width of going to Windows. That should tell you how pissed I am.
Well, I have a USB wifi adapter and it works fine, doesn't always connect the first try, but that's nothing. I've seen some people complaining about their PCMCIA cards not working, but that's it. Good luck YouMockMe

OPEN QUOTES:
"Ok, there's about 1 million people with the same problem : Broadcom STA Wireless driver problems since 9.10 ( worked for everyone in 9.04 )"
CLOSE QUOTES
So it's not me, it's "a million" other people.

4) If you know what the fuck you are doing. (Google for beginner linux os's to train on or read online manuals)
5) Depends if you like playing around with computers? Depends on how you use it???

Hmmm, yes, especially since it was made Before vista.
I dunno if you've realised, but linux is Free and vista is a rip.

have you even used linux, ubuntu, mint? Maybe you should have another go, now that you've learnt how to turn a computer on.
You still haven't given any basis to your argument at all, and i'd like to see you try.

vista is the worst OS ms has released so far (good thing i didn't pay for it). Hopefuly windows 7 will be better. linux is lighter, faster, more pleasant and free.

yeah and they didn't even made a good rip. vista ultimate is like 300$ and linux is still more stable and pleasant to work with. If games and software would be made to be compatible to both windows and linux (like ut2004) windows would be long forgotten.

Depends what you like, there are over 100 distro's of linux, and i'd say go for openSUSE / Ubuntu / Mint, but KEEP your windows XP on a dual / triple /..4boots :P

That's wrong. A lot of people (far more than 10%) know what Linux is. The problem is that a lot of them are scared of it.
Linux Mint is very nice, I tried it today, it's even better than ubuntu in terms of user experience.

There is three mainstream OSs that people know about and use. Windows, OSX, and Linux. The fact is that Linux is mainstream were BSD or Unix is not. Oh, and don't say that Linux is unix because it is not.

I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and like it. BUT, I have a Linux Mint CD that my friend made for me before I installed Ubuntu. He said to check it out. I did, and I decided to install Ubuntu. For some reason, Compiz Fusion isn't as laggy as it is in Ubuntu! I think I'll install Mint.

Linux Mint is based of Ubuntu. I can't say Ubuntu is better, but it does have a much larger community. What i didn't like about Ubuntu is all the updates you have to install. Linux Mint's updates don't take so long + you get Adobe Flashplayer and Compiz and lots of other stuff wich you don't get with Ubuntu.

downloading this now.. im soooo tired of windows xp.. used it for years, its been great.. but its time for a change.. hope this is good. if not i can always get windows 7

I took this vid's advice & and I'm now trying LinuxMint, and I have to say I prefer Ubuntu.
One of the problems: right now, Mintinstall is stuck at 20% in trying to install Wine; it's been that way for hours.
At least one other (really vital) thing doesn't work, and it's making run back to Ubuntu (which I ALSO use as nothing more than an experimental system).
I abandoned "gOS Rocket" because I accidentally deleted many files--BUT THERE WAS NO "Recycle Bin" TO GET THEM BACK!

Quit complaining about your deleted files, try using ZFS

That sounds like a good tip actually.
saffronix 2 years ago
linux mint is based off of ubuntu, basically it is ubuntu with more apps that a for specific things, so if there is a flaw, it may be that the cd you burned was corrupted or that you did something wrong. if you use sudo apt-get install wine, and that froze, then try getting the deb file from the internet..
dinanj 2 years ago
I'm almost 100% sure the CD wasn't corrupted because I checked it for defects.
Thanks for the tip ... actually, I just looked at your YT page and it seems like you could be an authority on all things Linux.
Oh, would you know how to get dual monitors on an Ubuntu system working? I tried with a Dell laptop (c.2004) and an analog monitor, but I couldn't get it to work, and nothing on the Net really helped.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, what an appalling demonstration video ever. I learnt nothing except to give linux a very wide berth, and that this person should never be aloud to make another video. In fact this should be held up as an example on how not to make a video, truly awful.
This linux has geek alert written all over it.
Thank god for Mr Gates and windows.

I've come over from PclinuxOS and Ubuntu to mint and i too think it works really good. It fully found all of my hardware, it setup really quickly and its stable.
I'm actually hoping to try this on my Vaio laptop at some point... i'll keep ya'll posted!
ecotts 3 years ago
GNU - I just came over from XP, and will never go back.
I tried Mandriva, Ubuntu, E-Live Gem, Dream, Knoppix, and a few others. None of them picked up my hardware like Mint.
i installed, and my printer just popped up completely configured. Hooked my 200 Gig hd to it, and can access all files. My cell phone, flash drive, DSL connection - same story. I installed, and they were there.
Kudos to the Mint team.

I agree Linux Mint seems to have better plug and play and seems a little more faster and stable than Ubuntu. Gotta definitly like the software portal that comes with it.
