Linux Mint is an open source operating system that is based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution. It provides users with a variety of user-friendly applications and tools for managing their files. It also offers access to a wide range of open source software packages and libraries, as well as a complete desktop environment. Linux Mint comes with a built-in file manager, which allows users to easily browse and manage their local and remote files. It also provides users with shortcuts to quickly access and open files. Additionally, Linux Mint includes tools for creating, editing and managing disk images, as well as for managing disk partitions. It also includes a software manager that allows users to quickly download and install applications from the internet. Finally, Linux Mint also comes with tools for managing user accounts and setting up user permissions.
Starting in 2018, the Ubuntu installer will collect data about users' devices. This has caused outrage among Linux users. First of all, it's opt-out, rather than opt-in. Secondly, it shouldn't even be there. Third, Canonical (the makers of Ubuntu) have a very poor track record on privacy, including collecting local searches to boost Amazon sales and hostility towards critics or their privacy practices. Try Linux Mint or Manjaro instead.
Ubuntu is more stable and more up-to-date than Mint. Without Ubuntu, there is no Mint. But I like both.
Mint and other Ubuntu-based Linux are actually based on Debian "under-the-hood". So, Debian is compatible with these and could be a good alternative for that reason (for example, it uses .deb files to install software). However, Debian is less user-friendly and, in my experience, can be a pain to install. On the plus side, it is rock stable and therefore a good choice for servers, as long as you keep it up to date for security reasons.
Debian does not have a GUI to manage the original drivers and does not allow users to install them easily due to its philosophy. That is something that many users forget or even don't tell you about Debian.
Arch Linux is difficult to place in the distro for beginners or even average users, as it requires detailed knowledge of how you want to configure the system and be able to do it from the command line. However, for those who want an Arch-based distro that is even easier to use than Mint, try Manjaro: it comes in many different flavors, works "out of the box" every time I've tried it, has faster responses to Security Vulnerabilities, and has great community support.
Some wireless controllers are not natively supported.
Paid, not open source, horrible licensing and performance.
Windows 10 is closed source and does not focus on protecting user privacy. Nor does it give its users that much power, in exchange for ease of use and uniformity.
Windows no es Linux, Mint es; Windows no es de código abierto, Mint es; Las aplicaciones de Linux no se ejecutan de forma nativa en Windows; etc., etc., etc.
Linux Mint has long been considered ideal for beginners because 1) it is 100% compatible with Ubuntu (and therefore enjoys strong community support and compatibility with many applications) and because it is "easy to use". Elementary achieves all the same goals using an even more user-friendly user interface. Mint servers were also hacked in early 2016, so take advantage of what you want.
If you are used to the Mac OS style, you will be pleased to use the Elementay operating system, as it is an Apple system. Its desktop environment is known as Pantheon and is based on Ubuntu.
It is a different repository base, but the user interface resembles that of Linux Mint.
ReactOS is not Linux and is made to run Windows programs. It is also not very developed or stable yet.
Kubuntu = Ubuntu - the Gnome desktop + the KDE Plasma desktop. It is Ubuntu with a different face. Which desktop you like is a matter of preference. There's also KDE Neon, which is like Kubuntu, but you get the latest KDE Plasma updates as soon as they're available.
Tails is for dissidents / activists and anyone else who needs excellent privacy. Everything else is basically ignored by Tails. It is the worst of all alternatives to Ubuntu.
Es poco probable que FreeBSD sea un buen reemplazo para Linux Mint porque, 1) no es un tipo de Linux sino BSD, que es un pariente muy lejano; 2) no es tan fácil de usar ni para principiantes; 3) es probable que tenga una gama mucho más limitada de software y controladores disponibles para que el usuario promedio se mantenga contento. Sin embargo, es probable que FreeBSD sea más seguro que Mint y otros sistemas operativos Linux derivados de Ubuntu.
It has many bugs and software problems.
Qubes is great for security freaks. It runs programs in disposable virtual machines so things can't contaminate / infect each other. But this is a hassle and far from what the average Ubuntu user will want from their system. Huge thumbs up for Qubes, but not as a replacement for Ubuntu.
