It the distro that my 72 year old mom uses for the last 3 years. She adaptade very quick from windows to Mint and run in her EXTREMELY old laptop. Toshiba Tecra A10
Just buy her new laptop brov she's Ur mum
old laptops are cooler deal with it pleb
Same here. My mom is 67 and using Mint since 2 years and it works and works and works... and it's fast. Shes using it for surfing and calc sheets
@@thealien_ali3382 If the existing tech works you don't need new tech. She isn't gaming on it. And probably isn't editing videos.
@@thealien_ali3382 I tried, but she doesn't want a new one. A newer one is in storage because she says she likes the old one...
I have been using Mint for approx. 2 years now. I initially put the 32 bit version on an old Gateway laptop mfg in 2008. It functioned so well I have now changed every computer I have to Linux Mint. I recently bought a little Bmax mini PC which came with Win10. I put Linux Mint on it and it runs so much better. I'm not sure people realize they can dump Windows and never miss it (except maybe for gaming). I have control of my computers again. Thank you for great videos!
Hopefully you donate a small amount to keep Mint alive
With Proton, gaming is actually viable on Linux now - it seems games actually run smoother now
Gaming isn't such a concern anymore, it's still office and productivity applications that's limiting for me. Are there any VMWare Fusion-like solutions to run office 365 seamlessly in Linux? MS Office alternatives weren't cutting it.
For gaming, I've invested in networking, so moonlight/sunshine became my main gaming method. It's not for competitive use of course.
I switched to Linux Mint over two years ago as a daily driver and especially for gaming. Thanks to steam and proton, AAA games are in most of the cases a very good experience.
@@yensteelyou could run a virtual windows machine and then use office through that
One thing I like about Linux Mint is that it's mature and doesn't _need_ any dramatic changes. What you get is totally stable and does what you need, and if what it does "out of the box" isn't perfect for you it's easy to change the way it looks or add the programs you need.
Personally, I'd rather have that than changes "because we can" and that make me have to relearn something.
I have been using linux mint for the past 5-6 years and it just works. There are never problems like when you use windows with their constant updates. Linux mint is my absolute preferred linux version. 😊
What about when it comes to games?
@@user-tb4ys1jg5fIm going to test this with some weird games over the next week. Remind me and I'll update you.
Mine, too. I love that they don't change things for the sake of change. Some of us use computers to work and we don't want new learning curves out of the blue screwing up productivity. I'm not one of those people who wants to try out every flavor of Linux just for fun. I want to minimize stress, get my work done, and relax when using my PC!
Dont realy play
This is what I wanted to know. My wife works alot on the comp. But windows has made it more and more difficult. So I looked into another system that would not pull so much processor usage.and doesn't use so much ram like windows.@@Growmap
Hi Jay,
One feature I love that is not mentioned by any reviwer I've watched is that most programs can be uninstalled without using the terminal, app store or synaptic package manager. You simply right-click the program from the start menu and the uninstall option is available to you. Pretty cool. The only distro I've used over the years that I've seen this feature.
This would be easy to do with flstpaks in gnome and KDE, but i don't think there are any plans on adding this
@@happygofishingI don't understand why other distro's are not doing this if it's really that simple. It makes removing packages a breeze. Who wouldn't want that? 🙂
i think its just under the radar.@@sirsuse
Or drag the App to the Trash. Been doing it for decades.
Deepin too
Linux Mint is just pure polish, awesome distro
I recently discovered that you can center the apps in your task bar and split the system tray to the bottom left and bottom right. It's so much better 🙌🏻
How?
Right click on the task bar -> "Edit mode" drag and drop the apps to the center. In my case I have also moved the weather and date from the bottom right to the bottom left -> right click again on the task bar to undo the edit mode
I use Linux mint as well as mint LMDE. Love them both
I know right? It's like having 2 dogs and you love them both
Linux Mint always gets better and faster. Who needs big innovations when it has or offers everything you need on the most stable distro in the Linux environment. I loved Win7. Love Linux Mint even more. 6 years of flawless experience.
Its been some time since I watched your videos and I have to say kudos sir. The production quality has improved a lot. The picture quality of the video is top notch and the set looks great!
I started with Slackware 3.4 back in '98, and I loved the do-it-yourself approach, compiling things from source, manually figuring out dependencies, tweaking the kernel configuration and building each new release ... eventually I went to Gentoo and was happily using that for a couple of years, but then I decided to give Mint a try a couple of years ago, and I guess I'm getting old... I like that things generally just work. I like that packages are available for my distribution so I don't have to compile and configure everything. I want to _use_ my computer, not just tinker with it. I'm not a fan of Cinnamon, but MATE is working pretty well for me.
Thanks for highliighting the features of the newer version. I'll also check the community page, good to know. 👍
Another great video about one of the best operating systems (in my personal opinion). Since I discovered Linux Mint, it feels like I'm 'at home.' I like Cinnamon as an environment; it works wonderfully on my old MacBook Air 2015. The only issue so far is with an Nvidia card, as it occasionally flickers (probably a driver issue). Otherwise, most things work as mentioned, right from the system startup. I'm satisfied, and I no longer need to spend a lot of time tweaking the system after installation.
The stability of mint is what makes me, a linux newbie, like it. I know that it pretty much will be what it always has been and I won't get the rug swept out from under me. I know what I'm getting with mint and that is precisely what I want out of my distro. Something dependable that doesn't change every 5 minutes.
Today, I decided to change all my Win10 PCs to Linux Mint, with the exception of 2 PCs. So glad to be using Mint!
So you have 3 pc's?
@@atlantic_love I have 8.
Have been running WIn10, Ubuntu, and mint. Have settled on Linux Mint DE 5 and 6 as my daily drivers and have found it to be rock solid !!!
I’ve been a fan of mint for three years now. I’ve hopped around but I’ve always gravitated back. Mint does Cinnamon just right.
Legit review, love your channel!
I'm using Linux Mint on an old Late 2013 MacBook Pro. I actually prefer Linux Mint over MacOS. Both are Unix based and it shows, it took very little time to get up to speed with Linux Mint. IMO, Linux Mint is a perfect way to repurpose older Apple computers. It loads faster than MacOS and does everything I need plus more.
(re: learning curve) I'm actually enjoying the process of learning a whole new OS that isn't constantly getting in my way. I like having software that's logically designed, like a Word Processor (Libre Writer) that actually has the "Print" button right on the main screen and hasn't buried it at the bottom of a sub-menu that's not even on the toolbar.
I tested Mint about 6 months ago, and since have been running it on my main desktop and main laptop. I have a couple Ubuntu desktops and my other laptop is Ubuntu, but the 2 computers I use daily are now Mint, and I'm a happy convert. Package installation runs SO much smoother than Ubuntu, where I normally have to just resort to using dpkg on the command line. It also is fast as greased lightening on a ThinkPad T480 w/32GB RAM and an i7.
I love the ease of use in Mint, and am discovering new features daily, including picking up a tidbit in this video. Thanks for that!
Cinnamon user from 2015 and love it.
Big thumbs up. I love to sit down and have Mint come up and I know I'm not going to spend my time fighting with a windows issue. The only thing keeping Windows on this machine is there are a couple of apps I haven't been able to bring over yet. But, once that is done Windows is out the window.
The point-3 release of Mint is not the one where the most changes take place. It's usually the one that makes the changes that are from feedback from the users and the last before the band moves on to work on the next major release 22. However, the point-3 release is also the most polished version of the product. I ran 18.3 for almost a year before I switched to 19. 2.
I really like Pop Os but came back to Mint. Cleared up the bluetooth headphone and overall audio issues I was having. Really like the Pop desktop better, but Mint seems to do everything well!
Would be nice to see you going over nvidia compatibiliy (or lack thereof) in depth, as well as bluetooth etc - all the usual problem areas.
It uses the same NVIDIA driver compatibility as Ubuntu. No issue on my RTX 3080 with Cinnamon.
The kernel by default is old, though. You might want to upgrade your kernel via Software Updater for Bluetooth.
I'm very happy with my Mint install!
I love you’r voice it makes my anexiety go away (:
One thing I wish they'd change is the metacity window manager because it takes up space with the titlebars.
I have been using mint since 2016 on old laptops, hp dumb terminal etc. love it.
In Jan I made my PC a dual-boot and tried out Mint and Zorin. I stuck with Mint for most of the reasons you stated. In early April I did an inventory of my Windows 11 and didn't see anything that I needed to keep so I deleted the partition and gave the free HD space to Mint. I do not miss Windows at all. it was more geekier to get some programs installed, but I learned a lot from it and I'm a happy Linux user!
Do all of you extra functions keys on your laptop work with it. A couple don't work on mine like the one to turn on and off the Bluetooth .
I wish I saw this video before I installed Ubuntu. I hadn't been keeping up with Linux for a while now and had no idea Ubuntu would keep promoting their pro edition/service.
this month, I switched from Ubuntu to Mint and I loved it
Great Lecture. I am new to Linux Mint Cinnamon and I have a problem? It's telling me that there is no Space left?? Not being a Geek, could you please tell me how to fix this issue? You mentioned in one of your episodes that you can quickly run out of space, so is there a simple way to sort this out? I'm hoping it's NOT going to be too Techie?? Thanks. John
nice video Jei..i'm using Mint LMDE 6 Cinnamon 6.0.4..and so happy with it.🙃
Where are the touchpad gestures you were talking about?
After watching this video, I have installed Linux Mint and I have to say that I love it. Everything works like a charm, installation couldn’t be easier . I love that you can test memory booting from mint image. I really use that feature since apparently a DIMM was not working and using this test feature was able to find the error .
Thanks Jay I love your channel even your jokes hahaha
O wow, I've been using it for years but the gestures stopped working, waited for a new update, but it never came. Couldn't find it in the mouse menu, so I procrastinated figuring it out for at least 6 months...you just solved my problem in a second by telling me the English term. Ugh and thank you :)
The only gripe I have with Linux Mint is that it doesn't push kernel updates unlike Zorin, which can be done from one LTS version to another. I'm already running Mint 21.3 (Edge ISO for newer kernels).
Upgraded from the previous version. Works for me. I do a bit of video editing, and, on an i5 3470 it blitzes my windows laptop running an i7 6500.
If I do sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, will my mint upgrade to this version? If not, how do I do it?
I've revived my interest in Linux for daily computing. Would LMDE Cinnamon see my Brother printer connected to the print server on my Asus Blue Cave router? It's connected via USB.
What OS do you use on your main machine?
Tysm. How about some videos on ARM environment.👍🏻
If I buy two SSD's and install two M.2 ssd's can I put Linux on one of them, and Windows 10 on the other, and STILL get a dual-boot experience?
Absolutely loving the new version of Linux Mint 21.3 Edge addition. It’s the only distro I have found that will work with the new Intel BE200 WIFI7 cards without a problem.🎉 happy dance over here!🎉
Other than longer support (?), what would be the reason to upgrade from my Mint 20.3, instead of waiting for an even newer update?
Driverless printing is awesome!
Been using it for a while still the best
I’ve been using mint since 18 beta. I like how it gives me a winXP like experience, I can customise it like win98 (I had a dark theme in win98) and it can use Ubuntu ppa’s. It is also so easy to use that my parents used it for a while when windows vista died on their old laptop. I set it up with the oibaf mesa ppa and amd git firmware. Games run well on steam apk. And it’s easy to install software with the default software manager.
I have used almost all the popular distros but in the end, I'm always back to Linux mint.
I ended up installing Linux Mint per your advise and I liked it so much I have now installed it on 2 other PCs I own. My wife's is the only one left running Windows 10 and the clock is ticking with her system thanks to Microsoft and their shenanigans of leaving perfectly fine computer hardware behind in their Windows 11 update. I am rather geeky and have enjoyed the challenges of having to install a few things like my VPN via command line. I have also joined your community and will be seeing if this old guy can learn a new Operating System Linux Mint and other distros as well.
The big question: did they finally fix the blurry text with partial scaling?
My laptop won't run the Cinnamon version because it's too old. So I tried the XFCE and it works fine.
How old is your laptop?
Damn that thing must be ancient lol
@@Ministry_0f_Truth I bought it new in 2008
I have an old HP 6730b that was running Win7 for some apps that were no longer needed, so I decided to upgrade it to Linux Mint. Either the hardware or the BIOs would not allow install of Mint 21.3, but Mint 20.2 installed perfectly. Once installed, it upgraded to 20.3, which runs fine.
@@ohio_gardener what tool did you use to make the bootable stick? Rufus or something else?
Just installed Linux Mint, love how much more responsive the OS feels than Skynet 11.
Gave it a shot (from debian) love it.
I have it, and I’m a little annoyed with the graphics that is laggy and slow in resizing windows, but for some reason fast when moving the windows around on the screens.
The intel-driver is installed and works
@@wojtek-33 It’s old, but not that old. Core i7-5820K, 64GB RAM and the graphics card is NVIDIA T400
Nice video. Wondering if you can help? Could you do a tutorial on how to make a bootable image of the current system, if this is possible?
Purpose. Installed linux mint cinnamon on my daily driver. Installed all updates etc. Now I have to install on my other test machines, but would prefer to avoid going through all the rigamarole again of updating, installing & removing apps.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance. Great & easily digestable content here.
Love the same! Hate when people change things just to change them. Yes a KISS distro.
I really like Linux Manjaro- nice set up with easy understand options, and is so much faster then mint 21.3, mint has a lot of bells and whistles - it comes at a cost of performance in my experience
I have a boot USB for Mint 21.3 Installed on a new blank intel nuc computer I installed it on my M.2 SSD it is there then I restart and it asks me to remove the Intal media I do and then it won't boot. Even though I set the legacy boot master to the number 1 spot that is my M.2 ssd. and every install I do, it happens too. I am lost.
The Edge iso is a great thing, if someone would make use of the features included in a newer kernel
I started with Ubuntu, checked out the various flavors and settled on Mate, now I moved onto Linux Mjnt Mate. Using Linux and having bash, gcc and python available to write code and automate daily processes is great. My mother (85) uses a laptop regularly and would call every other week with problems. I installed LM Mate over windoze and no more problems. She purchased a new laptop, I set it up with windows since it was under warranty. The 1st time she had a problem she called me up and stated that I was to take the laptop and don’t bring it back unless Linux Mint was installed 😂.
When I want work to be done I use mint , I have some remarks like night light improvement and windows position when apps are launched and some problem when copying large files but in general it is good
They gave me a used laptop so they I could (again) play with Linux. We are, of course, a Windows Shop. Once I managed to pry the Windows OS off of the laptop, I installed Ubuntu without any problem. Now came the time to add Mint to the mix. When I first installed it, it worked, but then when I re-Booted there was no selection menu to indicate which OS I wanted to use. In fact, I did not see how I could get Mint back again. I am open to suggestions. Thanks
I'm going to install linux on my home systems soon and had looked at Zorin OS. A little worried about it being up to date enough for a newer system as I have heard this distro falls behind a little in releasing new distros. I have experience on Red Hat from a work server that I used to manage. What is your recommendation as to distro for me? I have three older PCs and one fairly new build PC that might have issues if the latest drivers aren't available.
I can share my experiences with a bunch of different distros over the years:
Mint is not too far behind the Ubuntu release(it released 3 months after the last Ubuntu LTS release so I expect the new Mint that's based on Ubuntu 24.04 to release somewhere in July). But Mint feels a bit old and boring to me as well, which might be good for some(stability & user friendliness) but not for me. I'd let my parents use it though since they try to make everything GUI-usable. An old lady in my previous apartment complex used Mint as well for years without problems, it's a fairly tame and distro with often an older kernel(latest release is on kernel 5.15) so don't use it on brand spanking new hardware if you want to be sure it runs well.
Zorin lacks behind quite a bit more, the latest Zorin (version 17, based on Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 6.2) released in December 2023, which is 20 months after the Ubuntu release in April 2022. I do very much like the look and feel of Zorin, my gf uses it on a spare laptop to watch TV series and it does well at that. It does give me some failed updates quirks every now and then but I think that's more down to it supporting Snaps and the Snap store from the Ubuntu base than an actual distro issue. In case you didn't know: if the Snap Store has an update it often can't update itself because it needs to close itself to update which requires you to use the terminal. Sometimes updates for Snaps also find their way onto the store updates page while the snap daemon is already updating the snaps in the background so you get some messages that the updates can't complete if you try and update them through the store.
I do donate a little bit to this distro every now and then since I like what they put out, hopefully they can work on a same release schedule as Mint in the future.
In case you want to be more at the front concerning kernels you can't go wrong with the new Ubuntu 24.04 release, I've got 22.04 on my own laptop(almost 3 year old Ryzen 4800u/16GB DDR4) and am going to upgrade to 24.04 at the first update/point release. But you'll have to get used to the Gnome desktop if you haven't used it before(I very much enjoy it).
Wouldn't recommend it at first but in case you feel adventurous and want to dive into the deeper layers and don't mind a little bit more instability:
Just revived my 10 year old craptop with EndeavourOS (Arch Linux based). It was barely hanging on with Windows 8.1 on it before and took ages to boot with an old Intel i5 dual core, 8 gbs of ddr3 ram. But this distro has absolutely made it a great freaking laptop again, I'm genuinely amazed. It reaches the login screen within 15 seconds now instead of 1,5 minute and everything is smooth and fast, no stutters or stuttery animations whatsoever, stuff just launches instantly in comparison with having to wait 10+ seconds to open up a browser. So might switch to this distro myself on my main laptop in the future, noticed a slight slowdown through my 2 years of using Ubuntu 22.04 and have to say that the old laptop feels snappier than my newer one.
I've tried a bunch of other ones but none were life changing enough to mention(maybe Nix but that's a whole other learning journey)
@@frankhuurman3955I installed endeavor on my 2015 macbook laptop but Wi-Fi don't work, I can't update, because don't have internet connection.. Now I have Mint and work great, Wi-Fi work.
Thank you friend.
I have linux mint cinnamon. My question is whats the difference if i get debian eith cinnamon?
It's one of my primary drivers
I've used LM for several years now. I love it because it rarely has any issues. And if you do have one it makes you double check your system for problems. It's almost flawless. Sure it has a few hiccups but it's stability wins for me.
Actions are genius!
The installer is really important for me: it offers you quite a lot of choices, with intelligent defaults and useful handholding to set custom values. Specifically, when setting up a dual-boot installation. I can't remember any other installer that makes it so easy to install Linux alongside another OS (mostly Windows, of course) and adjust the size of the two partitions. Other installers I've used have, at best, a single default, and if you want anything different you need to manually set mount points. I know I could look up the way to do this, and get it done right on the second or third attempt; and I know that manual control of this sort of stuff is really important to some users; but it's not important to me, and I'm really grateful for a distro that makes it easy for me. I like Cinnamon, but it's available elsewhere, and I'm happy enough with other desktops (and window managers). And the rest is Linux. But the installer is so unobtrusive it's a star, and I really don't know why other installers can't be like it.
Selecting "English" defaults to US English despite the majority of the world using international English, so "intelligent defaults" it does not have.
I'm new to Linux ( about a week) and I have this version. Does it not do 5G wifi? and how do I verify I have a 64 bit version, everything wants to run 32 bit.
I tried to install this under Windows 10 HyperV VMcreate.
Downloaded the ISO, set the install path, and clicked start.
All I got was a black screen of LinuxMint and then HyperV said it died.
Do Linux developers even test their software?
thank you!
Love the T shirt.
Thank you.
Maybe you can answer this; why does the latest upgrade disable our laptop sound cards, and why does Mint not address this with a fix or a rollback, or even a setting tab in the system settings? It's very irritating having to use a Bluetooth speaker, instead of our previously fine sound apps. Not all users are tech whizzes.
My main issue with cinnamon is its poor window management, just like all mutter based window managers it doesn't have smart window placement like kwin, xfwm4, openbox, and compiz has, so that makes it unusable for me, I hate it when the window manager just places a window on top of another window when there's plenty of room to place it beside it.
haven't used mint too much, but i once tested an in-place upgrade from (i think) 21 to 21.1 and wasn't impressed that i was forced to create a snapshot first (at least i didn't see a way around it). didn't have enough disk space so had to add and mount a second virtual disk, create the snapshot then was able to continue. otherwise seems to be a nice clean distribution
snapshot is optional you can ignore it when prompted on initial run and choose to have the system stop prompting you
I need to know how to turn my asus cn60 into a Linux mint machine...can it be done and how?
Please help me. I'm looking for a Linux to install on my military laptop. It's a Panasonic toughbook CF-19z mk8 with the dual touch screen, aka it works as a touch screen and a digitizer. My laptop has the Intel i5 3610 2 core 2.7ghz processor, Intel HD4000 gpu with 1.7gb vram , 16gb of ram, 1tb sata ssd, on board 4g cellular modem and hardware GPS. I need all the features to work. I only have this laptop and use it to play Oblivion and Skyrim with Xbox 360 controller, I also use it for TH-cam, CAD and 3d printing and watching movies. My question is, Will Linux Mint work with my hardware with all the features of my laptop working and with the way I am doing with it? Please help me as I am new to Linux
While installation on my mini PC (GMKtec NucBox G3) was a breeze, I was unable to get WiFi to work. Luckily I installed it in parallel to Win 11 (which came preinstalled), so I could switch between the two OS's. I'd wish for some basic how-to guides in Linux Mint, that one could consult without an active internet connection.
PS: I'm actually sending this message from my G3 with its Realtek 8852BE M.2 adapter. Anyone has any idea, why it wouldn't work in Mint, please?
I love Cinnamon. I really do
Can we access our Microsoft and Google email accounts with Linux, especially Linux Mint?
I have used Linux mint for years and have always felt like it was the best distro for me. However, after upgrading my laptop to a Dell Latitude 7390 I have had constant freezing when it is not connected to the Dell docking station. I have searched high and low for code to fix this issue but have not been able to resolve this problem. I really like debian linux which seems to be the issue, so I really don't know what distro to switch to because Debian is of course debian linux, Vanilla OS is based on debian code, Ubuntu is also based on debian. Do you have any suggestions?
Some of the USB c ports have a pinhole reset button which you can reset your USB-C and thunderbolt connections
So are you using the debian version of mint? If so just try switching to the ubuntu version. I mean in a couple of months ubuntu 24.04 will come out and mint will upgrade to it like a month later and it will be MUCH MORE updated.
LMDE6 is the best!
Get rid of the Dell docking station. They are very problematic. Try from a different manufacturer.
FWIW, I've been running Mint Cinnamon 21.x (standard Ubuntu-based) edition a Latitude 7390 2-in-1 for about a year with no problems. The 2-in-1 may have some differences from your machine, though, and I don't have a docking station.
I miss the old theming of Mint, like the old startup sounds, green theme and icons etc. At least with the theme and icons you can change that easily, but i had to go searching for the old startup sound.
Mint is very good I game on it no issues so far.
I'm going to give this a try , for some reason I'm suddenly interested trying something else than windows 😁 I just MUST be able to use davinci and my projects including mkv videos .. if not then Im not going to switch
Thank you for your work. I use Mint and Pop OS. I find both very good, but Mint seems to be better for laptop use and Pop OS is better for my gaming desktop.
I wish the file manager have feature that would put files start with symbols like: _ - be on top, just like symbols: # . put files on bottom
Linux Mint is excellent but KDE Neon is beautiful.
How good is Linux Mint for Software Development? Mostly web development.
My 21.3 LM start button disappeared and no Internet advise has brought it back. please, I hope your advice will help?
could be a broken update, if I google the issue it seems that some people could fix it by right-clicking an empty spot in the taskbar and add MintMenu or reset all settings if MintMenu isn't available.
Not sure if there's a button in the appearance settings somewhere that removed it?
Wish the Linux community would focus more on polishing Wine so Windows games (especially older titles like Unreal Tournament 2004 & 3) can be installed from physical disks and played more easily. I don't need more wallpaper and themes. Also, I'd like to see a disk cloning tool built into file manager -- as seamless and easy as creating a bootable USB. Relying on some 3rd party tool is impossible without internet and creating accounts is a no go for me.
I got mint running on 4 thinkpads (the oldest from 2014), a handful of Intel Nuc's and on 1 virtual machine at work. All working without hiccups
Like Jay mentioned twice it just stays out of the user's way.

I use LMDE6 it is great.
i have a core i5 7th gen laptop and i am looking for a replacement OS in 2025 once windows 10 support stop, my big problem is we have MS 365 in our organization. is there support for 365 in linux mint? tanx
Fwiw, I'm running Mint on an i5 6th Gen PC and the performance difference between it & Win10 on same PC is huge.
Also running Mint Xfce on a couple of older laptops & they're speedy little machines
