Linux Mint features its unique software installer designed to simplify software installation and management. It provides an easy-to-use interface for downloading and installing packages, including third-party apps, with reliable package management technology.
MintInstall is an incredible software that lets users add various software via .mint files. If you're looking for an elegant, up-to-date, and incredibly comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution, then Linux Mint is the perfect choice. You might be wondering whether Linux Mint is an ideal solution for companies as well. The answer is yes. Linux Mint offers paid commercial support to both companies and individuals alike. However, the forums and the IRC channel provide free community support.
The purpose of Linux Mint is to innovate and consistently provide the best desktop solutions to its users, which is why we have a fast release cycle. Users can expect to see a new version of Linux Mint every month or two, and all released versions are actively supported. Some releases, such as Bianca or Cassandra, will come with a Long Term Support guarantee, meaning that the Support Center will support these releases for years to come.
Linux Mint is an excellent choice for individuals who believe that Linux is the best operating system on the market, and it's also perfect for companies. With more than 300 active Linux distributions, we're working hard to become the best alternative for your desktop. We have faith in the quality of our desktop and a lot of great ideas, but we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
Linux Mint offers both a Light Edition and a Full Edition for users. We respect the GPL, and we also respect the copyrights and licenses of other proprietary software. However, we use technologies that have been patented in some parts of the world. So, for users who live in countries where software patents are enforceable, we provide a version of Linux Mint that is free of patented technologies, which is what the Light Edition is all about.
While some may wonder about our decision to include proprietary drivers, rest assured- we don't. If we did, it would be legally or ethically wrong. With regards to proprietary software, we believe in open source and release all our work with corresponding source code. We owe a lot to the Free Software movement and to the GPL, but we also owe a lot to all the developers that contributed ideas and tools that made software better and better throughout the years. We like Software in general and Free Software even more, but we do not believe in boycotting Proprietary Software.
