Why Linux Mint is the best distro

welcome back to Linux guides the goto place for everything related to Linux today we are diving deep into the world of Linux distributions focusing on why Linux Mint stands out as in my opinion the best choice so buckle up as we explore the features that make Linux Mint a favorite among the Linux Community let's kick things off with the hard and Sol of Linux men the cinamon desktop developed inhouse by the Linux men team cinamon is more than just a desktop environment it's an integrated part of the Linux Mint experience in fact you can say Linux Mint is for cinnamon and cinnamon is for Linux M for example if you open up your menu just rightclick any application and select to uninstall it this is just one of these features which are working so so good because with uninstall a Linux Mint self-written software component starts and whether it is a flet pack or system package with a it will try to uninstall the application or to remove this menu entry another thing is our system reports menu I can open it up here in system reports the system reports comes with useful tips and tricks to improve your Linux Min desktop experience for example to install additional drivers if a new version of Linux Min comes out and other very useful tips for example here in installing missing language packs also in the system information you can easily copy the whole text and paste it for example into forums and also you have here an own crash reports window also there's a complete new series The X apps in Linux Mint which integrates all apps seamlessly good for example if I open up my file manager and I create new document for example test.txt and I right click it and make it a favorite so add to favorites then I have a new star down here to open up all my favorites for example this test Point txt file also in the menu I can now search for test.txt because it's a favorite and also for example if I open up the text editor and I can also select under file favorites my test.txt file this is just a small inspection on how well integrated the cinnamon desktop is into Linux Min and it makes really fun to discover all these features and of course using them so in fact you can say Linux Min is for cinnamon and cinnamon is for Linux Min the seamless integration results in a desktop experience that's both intuitive and visual appealing making it a joy to use let's head to the next segment and this is the Ubuntu base now what sets Linux mid apart from the rest it's strong Foundation but also expand Linux men is built on the solid groundwork of Ubuntu it isn't copying Ubuntu because it removes snap completely and is using flat pack instead but flat pack is only optional to use but let's come to compatibility this means that almost every package and instruction designed for Linux is compatible with Linux Mint the benefits of this compatibility cannot be overstated it opens up a vast ecosystem of software support and Comm commity knowledge that ensures a smooth and reliable user experience in fact you can get almost every software which is available for Linux over the software manager because of the integration of all Ubuntu packages which is also coming with I guess all Debian packages or almost all Debian packages and of course the flat up which is in my opinion the new app store for flat pack and the Central app store for flat pack and that that brings us to the third Point stability and usability while some Linux sisters might be busy experimenting with Cutting Edge features like for example popos with their completely new rust written desktop this is a great idea in theory but but I don't know if this is a right way to create a brand new desktop in such a short time and to making it a default I'm very curious how this is working in the next poos version so Linux Mint in the other other hand stays true to its core principles stability and usability the developers at Linux men prioritize a reliable and userfriendly experience avoiding unnecessary complications or experiments like the snap switching of auntu or some bleeding edge updates in the Arch Linux ecosystem this commitment to stability ensures that your system works seamlessly giving you the confidence to focus on your task S without worrying about unexpected High cups let's head over to my next point and this is the beginner friendliness now let's talk about accessibility Linux Min is renowned for being one of the most beginner friend Linux distributions out there the installation process is straightforward and the user interface is designed to be intuitive making it an ideal choice for those new to the world of Linux if you're just starting with the Linux Journey Linux men provide a welcoming environment to learn and explore without feeling overwhelmed there comes a handy welcome screen which explains you the first steps how to start an index men how to install some software it has almost a good documentation I would say and many hot keys for example which are working on windows are also working in Linux Mint for example Super E just opens up the Explorer or Nemo file manager and many other desktop features are included and are well accessible over the well-designed system settings which are also very very major if you for example compare them with the Ubuntu system settings which are basically The Gnome system settings now let's delve into some of the standout features that Linux Mint brings to the table one notable enhancement for example which came in the new Linux Min version 21.3 is the actions settings I can search here for action this feature allows users to add more actions to the context menu of the file manager providing an efficient way to interact with files and these are just the beginning and I guess I will also add an action by my own for example I'm searching for a very quick way to convert a markdown file into a PDF file and I guess this can be done very very quickly with actions but yeah it's these thoughtful additions that showcase the commitment of Linux Mint to to improving the user experience and staying ahead of the curve in Des functionality which makes it great to use so in conclusion Linux Mint isn't just another Linux distribution it's a carefully crafted operating system that combines the best of the Linux World from the beautifully integrated cinon desktop to the stability and usability that Define its core lenux m stands tall as the too choice for both beginners and seasoned Linux users alike for example me if you haven't tried it yet Perhaps it's now time to experience the Excellence of Linux Mint as always thank you for tuning in and don't forget to like And subscribe for more Linux related content See you on the next one bye
