Linux Mint aims to create a modern and user-friendly GNU/Linux distribution for desktops with an attractive design.
Linux Mint is an exceptional GNU/Linux desktop distribution designed to provide users with an elegant, up to date, and comfortable operating system. But, is it suitable for companies? Absolutely, as Linux Mint offers paid commercial support to businesses and individuals. Additionally, free community support is readily available through the forums and IRC channels.
The primary goal of Linux Mint is to innovate and continuously offer the best desktop solutions to its users. Thus, the release cycle is fast, and a new version of Linux Mint is released every month or two. All released versions of Linux Mint are actively supported, and some of the releases (such as Bianca or Cassandra) come with a Long Term Support guarantee, ensuring support for these releases for years to come.
For individuals, Linux Mint is an excellent operating system choice, as it provides a desktop environment that's definitely the best on the market. With over 300 active Linux distributions, Linux Mint is determined to become the best alternative for desktop users.
To ensure users have access to free patented technology, Linux Mint offers a Light Edition, which is free of patented technologies, for users in countries where software patents are legally enforceable.
When it comes to proprietary drivers or software, Linux Mint is committed to the principles of open source and the GPL. All work is done with the corresponding source code, and although Linux Mint doesn't boycott proprietary software, it does appreciate the contributions made by developers who make software better and better throughout the years.
