The New Number One Distro? - Linux Mint 12

http://www.linuxmint.com

The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use.

Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are:

It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use.
It's both free of cost and open source.
It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint.
Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.
It's safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware...etc).

@blackoutworm

Yes, I do agree about trying to get people to switch from windows.Personally, I feel Linux is now facing an uphill battle, as I really can't explain to anyone why is there a reason to switch from windows 7. I just switched to win7 myself, as I am pretty dis-heatened with the ubuntu-unity deal, it just lost me completely.I used to rave on about Ubuntu, now....silence.

@ganjaking187 Yea, im thinking about using mint 11 instead of 12 too

[ganjaking187]

@kevingp12 ive used alot of distros and in my opinion the 2 best where linux mint 11 and fedora 15.

[kevingp12]

Hello GotBletU, I was curious. What is the official distro that you use on a daily basis?

[kevingp12]

@ganjaking187 thats what im thinking about sintalling

[themadmonkeystudios]

@andre2pi It's not really a review. He's used Mint before and he's just telling us the some of the likes and dislikes. Like anyone who has been using linux, there's not much to review because you already know what to expect. This video is NOT for viewers to are looking to try out linux for the first time. It's for experienced users who just want to know a few factors which helps them decide whether to use it or not.

[Juilkca]

I've been using Ubuntu for 4 years now, but haven't kept up with the Linux world. Anyone can tell me why Mint is at the top of the distro list right now?

[burstpipes]

Number one for now, but it looks rather ugly.

They screwed the Mint 12 up for users with an intel chipset. The gui will be hidden, and there is a manual workarround, but still very irritating to have to mess with that. They should fix the distro images asap.
