Linux Mint aims to deliver a stylish, current and user-friendly desktop distribution of GNU/Linux.
The release cycle is fast, with a new version of Linux Mint coming out every month or every two months. All released versions are actively supported, and some, such as Bianca and Cassandra, come with a Long Term Support guarantee.
Linux Mint is an excellent alternative to other desktop operating systems and distributions out there, with more than 300 active Linux distributions. Users running a PC with more than 512MB RAM are encouraged to try Linux Mint and share their feedback.
There are two editions of Linux Mint available: Light Edition and Full Edition. The former is free of patented technologies, making it ideal for users living in countries where software patents are legally enforceable.
It's worth noting that Linux Mint does not include any proprietary drivers, as doing so would violate the GPL or be ethically wrong. The team behind Linux Mint believes in open source and releases all its work with corresponding source code.
In short, Linux Mint is an excellent alternative to other desktop operating systems and distributions out there. It's fast, reliable, and offers innovative solutions to its users - both companies and individuals alike.
